ISO 639-3 Downloads
This page offers links to downloadable versions of the complete ISO 639-3 code set, a language names index, the mapping of macrolanguages to individual languages, and the mapping of retired code elements to current code elements. The Code Set table and the Language Names Index table are formatted as tab-delimited, UTF-8 text files. These tables are also offered as ISO/IEC 8859-1 encoded text files, though these simplified encodings should not be considered normative. The remaining two files map between identifiers; they are presently encoded in ISO/IEC 8859-1, as currently all data in these tables can be correctly encoded in the more limited character set. The first line of each file contains the column names rather than the first row of data.

ISO 639-3 Code Set 代碼序
NOTE: The "Ref_Name" column in this table contains a reference name by which this language is identified in the standard. The Reference Name is offered for ease of use of the code set, and does not imply it is to be preferred in any application to any other name that may be associated with the particular language as given in the Language Names Index. However, we do wish to avoid use of any pejorative name as the Reference Name. If you are aware of any instance in which a code element uses a pejorative or derogatory name as the Reference Name, please bring this to our attention at the contact email address below.

For users with systems unable to utilize Unicode character encoding, the code set table is also offered in a simplified version in Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1).
The following declaration is a sample formal definition for a SQL database table into which the tab-delimited file can be loaded:
CREATE TABLE ISO_639-3 (
Id char(3) NOT NULL, -- The three-letter 639-3 identifier
Part2B char(3) NULL, -- Equivalent 639-2 identifier of the bibliographic applications code set, if there is one
Part2T char(3) NULL, -- Equivalent 639-2 identifier of the terminology applications code set, if there is one
Part1 char(2) NULL, -- Equivalent 639-1 identifier, if there is one
Scope char(1) NOT NULL, -- I(ndividual), M(acrolanguage), S(pecial)
Type char(1) NOT NULL, -- A(ncient), C(onstructed),
-- E(xtinct), H(istorical), L(iving), S(pecial)
Ref_Name varchar(150) NOT NULL) -- Reference language name
============================================
Language Names Index 語言名稱序
In ISO 639-2, there are multiple name forms for some identified languages. The ISO 639-3 code tables now include a language name index with multiple names associated many code elements (primarily in English forms or variant anglicized spellings of indigenous names). The reference name from the Ref_Name field of the main table is included as an entry in this table, thus every code element has at least one row occurrence in the Language Names Index table. The name appears in two forms, a "print" form used in most contexts, and an inverted form which fronts a language name root, e.g., "Isthmus Zapotec" and "Zapotec, Isthmus". Where there is no root part to the name, the Print_Name and the Inverted_Name contain identical strings. The Language Names Index may be downloaded by clicking the following link

For users with systems unable to utilize Unicode character encoding, the Language Names Index table is also offered in a simplified version in Latin-1 (ISO/IEC 8859-1).
The following declaration is a sample formal definition for a SQL database table into which the tab-delimited file can be loaded:
CREATE TABLE ISO_639-3_Names (
Id char(3) NOT NULL, -- The three-letter 639-3 identifier
Print_Name varchar(75) NOT NULL, -- One of the names associated with this identifier
Inverted_Name varchar(75) NOT NULL) -- The inverted form of this Print_Name form
