# Langlib Utils to deal with languages and stuff. ## Langcodes - ISO-639-1 are **two** characters. e.g. "en", "fr", "zh". - ISO-639-2 are **three** characters. e.g. "eng", "fra", "jpn", "cnm". - ISO-639-3 are also **three** characters. It's more exhasustive than ISO-639-2, supposedly covers every single language. ### BCP-47 BCP-47 (_Best Current Practice_) is a wider tag that includes in one string language, script and region. e.g. - `en-US` - `en-Latn-US` - `zh-Hans-CN` Format is `language-script-region-variant-extension` Region codes are ISO 3166-1 Script tags are ISO 15924 Variant tags aren't standardized. It may include all or some of these.
