Follow-up Comment #1, task #8079 (project bibledit):
Ethnologue isn't quite exhaustive, especially in terms of extinct languages.
However, ISO 639-3 is a superset of both ISO 639-2 and Ethnologue and fills in
many of the holes present in both.
And, the data is available for download in an easy-to-parse format:
http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/download.asp
(And FWIW, in Sword, we prefer to use ISO 639-1 (two letter language codes),
but will use the ISO 630-3 code whenever that does not exist for a language.
The OSIS order of preferences is ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2/T, IANA registered
codes, then Ethnologue codes (encoded as x-SIL-...). When a new version is
released it will probably go to the same order of precedence as Sword uses to
conform to the latest RFCs.)
