This is a list of ISO 639-5 codes, including the code hierarchy as given in the ISO 639-5 registry. The code und (undetermined) from ISO 639-2 can be seen as top of the hierarchy (for example, und:aav, und:euq:eu). Note that the hierarchy is not a complete genetic hierarchy and that some of the collection codes are based on geography (like nai) or category (like crp) instead.
