List of Languages

Help
1

Hello,
I want to make a reference table in one of my spreadsheets that lists all the languages MKVtoolnix uses. Ideally I would also have as a second column the common name for that language. For example, my table would look something like this…

|Language Code|Language Name|
|en|English|
|fr|French|
|de|German|
|es|Spanish|

Is there a list of all these languages somewhere that I can copy/paste? Or any advice on how to generate a list of all these?

Thank you,

Welcome!

Matroska uses IETF BCP 47 language tags, and those in turn use the ISO 639 family of standards for its language codes. MKVToolNix auto-generates its list of languages from the official content of those standards with the addition of the BCP 47 specific IANA Language Subtag Registry which contains a handful of (mostly older) codes not present in ISO 639. The lists are available here:

All of those sources are combined into a single huge list in MKVToolNix. You can find the list in this file.
