ISO 639-6, Codes for the representation of names of languages — Part 6: Alpha-4 code for comprehensive coverage of language variants, is an international standard in the ISO 639 series, developed by ISO/TC 37/SC 2 (International Organization for Standardization, Technical Committee 37, Subcommittee 2: Terminographical and lexicographical working methods). It contains four-letter codes that denote variants of languages. This allows to differentiate between, for example, historical (glvx) versus revived (rvmx) Manx, while ISO 639-3 only includes glv for Manx.

The data supporting ISO 639-6 is being researched and compiled by GeoLang on behalf of the British Standards Institution (BSI). ISO 693-6 was published in 2009.

Alpha-4 ids

The "Alpha-4 ID" and "Alpha-4 Parent ID" fields on the website contain also alpha-3 codes (three digit alpha codes).

Scripts identified by language codes

http://www.geolang.com/iso639-6/ searching "Language Reference Name (part or whole)" for Turkish, gives six results:

  • Turkish
  • Turkish Spoken
  • Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928)
  • Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Armenian Script
  • Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Hellenic Script
  • Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Perso-Arabic Script

If scripts are identified as by the language codes, then the codes of ISO 15924 are superfluous for the last three.
