Introduction

GB/T 4880 series provides three national standard language code language name indicates the group, a 2-letter code group (see GB/T 4880.1-2005), the other two are 3-letter code groups (see GB/T 4880.2-2000 and this section). GB/T 4880.1-2005 apply to terminology, lexicography and linguistics; GB/T 4880.2-2000 applicable to the field of literature and terminology, including not only all languages GB/T 4880.1-2005 involved, including GB/T 4880.1-2005 language other than the language as well as a collection for when you need more detailed coding can encode a particular purpose; in this section include the code in all languages, it is intended to encompass all known languages, should with a very wide range, mainly used in linguistics, lexicography and international information systems.

GB/T 4880.2-2000 and three-letter code groups in this section are mutually complementary and mutually compatible. But the design of these two code groups the purpose is different. Language GB/T 4880.2-2000 listed in this section is a subset of the language, GB/T 4880.2-2000 includes not only Monolingual Code also includes a set of language codes, and this section include all known monolingual code does not include a collection of languages. The overall Words, this section includes a number of monolingual far greater than GB/T 4880.2-2000 number.

Language GB/T 4880.1-2005 is listed in GB/T 4880.2-2000 subset of the listed languages; 2-letter code for each language group Species code GB/T 4880.2-2000 has a corresponding code, 3 letter code groups are not necessarily in each code 2 letter code

Table has a corresponding code. Similarly, the non-collection of the languages GB/T 4880.2-2000 listed in this section is a subset of the language,

GB/T 4880.2-2000 non-collection of the languages listed are included in this section, rather than a collection of languages listed in this section do not necessarily contain in GB/T 4880.2-2000 in. GB/T 4880.2-2000 and this part of the corresponding 3-letter code alleged the same meaning, the GB/T 4880.1-2005 2-letter code and GB/T 4880.2-2000 and this part of the corresponding 3-letter code allegation meaning the same.

This section compared with the GB/T 4880.2-2000, a large number of its multi-language code mainly from the "cultural anthropology" [1], a small ancient Language, history, language and artificial language code from "Linguist List" [2], [3]. Three kinds of language code tables are open.

GB/T 4880 series of national standards also include the development of guidelines and standardized language code language code in some applications.

1 Scope

This section GB/T 4880 provides a representation language code group, the code contains a set of language elements of the code by the three-letter language Code composition. This part of the development of language code, wide range of applications, especially for computer systems. GB/T 4880.1-2005 and GB/T 4880.2-2000 include the major languages of the world literature often appear; and this part as much as possible to cover all languages, Including existing languages, extinct languages, ancient languages and artificial languages, even a large number of unknown language, regardless of the degree of importance. This section it does not include applications specifically designed for the machine language code, such as computer programming language, reconstructed language.

For the world of human language understanding changing, if a language differs significantly from other languages, you need to create a new language Code (see Chapter 3, Chapter 4); if the language code can not accurately reflect the distinction between language, the language has been revised code may also be Order, or being questioned. Therefore, it must be carefully considered to ensure that existing standards are not affected by variations in the development of standards.
