Language codes reference

Can someone please give me the official reference to the language (country/region) codes. I'm finding different codes for the same language (es_ES, esp_ESP, etc.) and I can't figure out which one is the right one.

These codes are a combination of the specific language as well as the conuntry in which the language is used. So for instance means es_ES spanish_Spain. Another one would be es_AR which would mean spanish_Argentina. For the language code there's the Language Matrix, as for the localisation part you could use the ISO 3166-2 country reference

There are several different standards specifying language codes, including ISO-639 with its sub-standards 1-3 and IETF language tags, which describe more of a system of possible codes than the codes themselves.

Which standard is "the right" standard depends on your use case and context. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_codes.

That's because the languages naming coding has different standards, using different number of letters. You might have to chose which standard to use and maybe detect which standard the data source you have is using.

This is a starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes
