Each language is assigned a two-letter (set 1) and three-letter lowercase abbreviation (sets 2–5). [2] Part 1 of the standard, ISO 639-1 defines the two-letter codes, and Part 3 (2007), ISO 639-3, defines the three-letter codes, aiming to cover all known natural languages, largely superseding the ISO 639-2 three-letter code standard.
A = ancient (extinct since ancient times), C = constructed, E = extinct (in recent times), H = historical (distinct from its modern form), L = living, S = special code; Retired codes are enclosed in (parentheses). The column Family contains the generic English name of the language's family or macrolanguage.
It represents the top 10,000 passwords from a list of 10 million compiled by Mark Burnett; for other specific attributions, see the readme file.

To be listed on this page, a language code's language must be found as a subcategory of one or both of the following categories: Category:Redirects from non-English-language terms; Category:Redirects to non-English-language terms; For complete lists of language codes see the navbar at the bottom of this page.

This is the complete ISO code and name list as of the Jan 2019 code-table update. The bare ISO names are linked, without 'language' appended. That means that some links will lead to dab pages or even to the wrong article, some of which might not have a hatnote redirect. (For very short names (1–3 letters), this is being checked on the talk page.)
The Linguist List entry can be seen by following the link at the beginning of each line. There is no requirement that a language name be identified before it is assigned a code in the private-use range. As a result, a large number of these code assignments are redundant, some even assigned to the appearance of a language in a specific source.
