JIS X 0412-2:2004

This part of JIS X 0412 specifies language codes which include three-letter Latin- alphabetic language indentifiers for the representation of names of languages, one for terminology applications and the other for bibliographic applications. The code sets are the same except for twenty-three languages that have two types of language identifiers because of the criteria used for formulating them. The language codes were devised originally for use by libraries, information services, and publishers to indicate language in the exchange of information, especially in computerized systems. These codes may be adopted for any application requiring the expression of language in coded form. Languages designed exclusively for machine use, such as computer programming languages, are not included in this code
