A language code is a system that assigns letters and or numbers as codes to languages. Often used language codes include ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2 codes.
A former common code was the old SIL code. SIL codes are now the same as ISO 639-3.
The French language, for instance, has the code fr in ISO 639-1 fra and fre in ISO 639-2/T and B and FRN in old SIL.
