We first of all need the codes for known languages -

are known, the better it is. Therefore the first option is for ISO-639
two letter.
Let's see:
1) ISO 639 two letter
2) ISO 639 three letter
3) SIL (adding the prefix "sil-")
4)
linguist.org codes for ancient languages (adding prefix "lnga-")
5)
linguist.org codes for constructed languages (adding prefix "lngc-")
6) wiktionary internal code (adding prefix "wkt-")
Could this be a feasible solution? For now I created a list made up oft
ISO 639 two + three letter codes (only in English yesterday).
Actually we may not need to do this. It seems that the SIL codes and the
linguist.org
codes are being incorporated wholesale into ISO 639-3 ("Alpha-3 code for
comprehensive coverage of languages").
