Replace ISO 639-2 above with ISO 639-3.
We are not using ISO 639-2 codes any more (unless they coincide with ISO 639-3 ones, which happens, but not always)
Exceptions from the ISO 639-1 or 639-3 rule can be found at:
There are 6 of 14 ones which could be easily avoided as of today, mostly since new language codes have been added to the ISO 639-3 list. Few more will likely or certaily follow, but 3 or 4 codes could remain that will not as easily be done away with.
