=head1 NAME
Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::LangFam;
$lext = code2langfam('apa'); # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
$code = langfam2code('Apache languages'); # $code gets 'apa'
@codes = all_langfam_codes();
@names = all_langfam_names();
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Locale::Codes::LangFam> module provides access to standard codes
used for identifying language families, such as those as defined in
ISO 639-5.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which
specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5
language family codes will be used.
=head1 SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying
language families. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a
constant that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
$lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
=over 4
=item B<alpha>
This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5
such as 'apa' for Apache languages.
This is the default code set.
