The language codes are based on ISO 639-1, 639-2, or 639-3 codes. When a 2 character 639-1 code is available, this is the preferred code. Codes in red are not currently used in the ISO standard, but are suggested for this Naming Convention. Codes beginning with "Q" are not represented in the ISO Standard, but are named using the 639-2 methodology for additional languages. "LAS", representing Latin American Spanish, is a special case in that LAS represents Lama (spoken in Togo) in the 639-3 codes. Due to the widespread use of "LAS" as Latin American Spanish in Film Distribution, however, we have chosen to keep it as Latin American Spanish for purposes of this convention.
