Appendix 3: Language Code
A language code is a standardized notation that utilizes alphabetical characters to identify and classify languages. In our system, we employ a CultureCode consisting of three digits to represent languages. This can be cross-referenced with the CultureName column in the table below to obtain the full language name.
