The Library of Congress, responsible for the maintenance of ISO 639-2
language codes, informed us that:
The language code "und" is used "if the language associated with an
item cannot be determined" or "for works having textual content
consisting of arbitrary syllables, humming or other human-produced
sounds for which a language cannot be specified."--from MARC Code
List for Languages.
