Codes for constructed languages
Template:Short description This is a list of ISO 639 codes and IETF language tags (BCP 47) for individual constructed languages, complete since January 2023[update]Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"..
ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-5 also have the code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />art for artificial languages.[1] The BCP 47 subtag <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />x can be used to create a suitable private use tag for any constructed language that has not been assigned an official language tag (e.g., <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />art-x-solresol could be used for Solresol).
The old SIL language identifiers (usually written in capitals) are officially obsolete and should no longer be used. They formed the basis of the ISO 639-3 language codes, but some SIL identifiers that had been retired before the establishment of ISO 639-3 were later assigned to different languages within ISO.
The IANA Language Subtag Registry (for IETF’s language tags defined in BCP 47) was updated on 29 July 2009 to include all ISO 639-3 and ISO 639-5 identifiers in use at that time.

BCP 47 has also reserved <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />simple for simplified languages.
Writing systems
When a constructed language has multiple writing systems, the following BCP 47 tags can be used to differentiate between them.
| Language | Script | BCP 47 |
|---|---|---|
| Interslavic | Latin | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />isv-Latn |
| Cyrillic | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />isv-Cyrl | |
| Klingon | Latin | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />tlh-Latn |
| KLI pIqaD | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />tlh-Piqd | |
| Lingua Franca Nova | Latin | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />lfn-Latn |
| Cyrillic | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />lfn-Cyrl | |
| Quenya | Latin | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />qya-Latn |
| Tengwar | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />qya-Teng | |
| Cirth | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />qya-Cirt | |
| Sarati | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />qya-Sara | |
| Sindarin | Latin | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />sjn-Latn |

| Cirth | <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />sjn-Cirt |

Notes
<templatestyles src="Reflist/styles.css" />
- ↑ a b c The BCP 47 language tags <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />i-enochian, <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />i-klingon and <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />art-lojban are old tags that were grandfathered in and are now deprecated.
- ↑ The ISO 639-3 standard previously included the code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />eur for Europanto, which was retired on 2009-01-16, with the reason “Nonexistent”.
- ↑ ISO 639-3 used to have the code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />occ for Occidental. This was retired on 18 July 2007, because Occidental is just another name for Interlingue, which has the code <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />ile.
