What you refer to as "some two-letter standard" is RFC 1766, "Tags for the
Identification of Languages".  This RFC allows the use of ISO 639 language
codes, optionally qualified by ISO 3166 country codes.  For example:

   zh       = Chinese
   zh-cn    = Chinese (Mainland)
   zh-tw    = Chinese (Taiwan)
   fr       = French
   fr-ca    = French (Canada)
   fr-fr    = French (France)
