Dear Sir,
This means that I do not need to wait much?
I can have a code ID quick, then an ISO code ID.
And later a IANA code ID

Now the only language I need is en-eu.

>
> (2) Current proposals to extend the alpha coding of the names of languages

> It has become increasingly clear that codes in the Latin script are

> of ISO 3166).  The Linguasphere Observatory has accordingly been perfecting
> an alternative system for the *numeric* coding of the world's languages,
