Of these, the two-character standards ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2 have become obsolete; the about 400 codes they distinguished were soon exhausted, while competing three-character systems such as the standard used by [[SIL International|SIL]] in the [[Ethnologue]], and [[ANSI Z39.53]] (also known as the [[MARC]] language codes) proved more adequate.<br /> <br /> [[SIL International|SIL]] was then asked to participate in the development of ISO 639-3, a 3-letter standard to which the system used in [[Ethnologue]] was equated.<br /> <br /> ISO expects to publish ISO 639-5 and ISO 639-6, which deal with [[genealogical classification]] and language variation, respectively, in 2008.<br /> <br /> ===Links===<br /> *[http://www.iso.org/iso/en/CombinedQueryResult.CombinedQueryResult?queryString=639 ISO 639 in the catalogue of the ISO]<br /> *[http://www.ethnologue.com/14/iso639/default.asp Conversion tables for MARC, ISO 639-2 and the SIL codes used in the 14th edition of the Ethnologue]<br /> *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639 ISO 639 in English Wikipedia]<br /> *[http://www.ethnologue.com/ethno_docs/introduction.asp ISO 639-3 and the Ethnologue]<br /> <br /> [[Category:En]] <br /> [[Category:Language description]]</div>
