NAME

Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS

   use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

   $lext = code2langfam('apa');                 # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
   $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

   @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
   @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION

The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in

Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default

language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically exported by this module.

For example, the two are equivalent:

   $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
   $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

The codesets currently supported are:

alpha

This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from

ISO 639-5

such as 'apa' for Apache languages.

This is the default code set.
