- ISO 639 is being revised. I believe the new revision will use (or
- permit) three-letter names.

- For a list of languages, see Ethnologue: Languages of the World, ed.
- Barbara grimes, 11th ed, Dallas, TX: Summer Instititute of
- Linguistics, 1988.
-
- It is fairly comprehensive - more than 6000 languages are identified.
