This is the terminology of ISO 639-3 and ISO 639-5 (not ISO 639-1 and -2).
ISO 639-6 terminology will be harmonized with ISO 639-3 and -5 prior to
delivery of the next draft.  Scheduled revisions of ISO 639-1 and -2 will
harmonize the terminology throughout the ISO 639 family. ISO DIS 639-4 once
published as IS should be used for guidance.

Best regards

Debbie Garside
Editor ISO CD 639-6
