# Language Codes for Use with jldb.tcl

This is a list of language codes for specifying a user's language preferences in jstools applications or applications that use the jstools libraries. It's taken from the twoletter language codes specified by the ISO 639:1988 standard. I got this document from `http://www.ntt.jp/Mosaic-l10n/ISO_639.txt`, where there may be a more current version of it.

Technical contents of ISO 639:1988 (E/F) ``Code for the representation of names of languages''.

Sundanese corrected, 1992-11-11 by Keld Simonsen

Twoletter lowercase symbols are used.

The Registration Authority for ISO 639 is Infoterm, Osterreiches Normungsinstitut (ON), Postfach 130, A-1021 Vienna, Austria.
