Ethnologue and ISO 639-3 Codes
The Ethnologue, a guide to the world's languages, is published by SIL. The 16th edition of the Ethnologue was published in 2009 and uses the ISO 639-3 standard, which assigns 3-letter codes to languages. (The ISO 639-3 code set was derived in part from the 3-letter codes that were used in the Ethnologue's 15th edition.) SIL is the registrar for the ISO 639-3 standard.

Famous quotes containing the word codes:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
