What do these codes mean?
The language code refers to the ISO-639-2 and ISO-639-3 codes.
en(english)fr(french)
The language code may be followed by a hyphen and a country code, a country variant or a script:
zh-CNzh-Hantfa-Latn(Persian written in Latin letters, a romanization)
A name in Latin letters of a language that is written in another script gets -Latn after the language code (fa-Latn, ar-Latn, ru-Latn, zh-Latn ...). The plain code (fa, ar, ru, zh ...) is for the names in the language's own script.
Accepted pseudo language codes:
post(postal codes)icao,iata,faac,tcid(airport codes)abbr(abbreviation)link(link to website)phon(phonetics)piny(pinyin)wkdt(wikidataid)unlc(UNLOCODE)nuts(EU NUTS code)lauc(EU LAU code)
