all-iso-language-codes v1.0.14
List of ISO 639-1, 639-2T, 639-2B and 639-3 codes with translations in all available languages
Sometimes you need to get a fresh list of 639-1, 639-2T, 639-2B or 639-3 language codes and their translations. Until now there was not an easy way to get them.
All data are available in json format in data/[language]/639-1.json. More formats might be available in the future.
Usage
1) JS functions (with TS type definitions included) 2) Directly, using files located in data folder

File format
If you have some ideas (csv, another JSON format...) let me know or create PR.
Adding more languages
