Description
The language table establishes language codes, names, and ID numbers.
- lang_id - Unique language ID.
- lang_name - Full name of the language.
- lang_code - 3-letter code abbreviation of the Language Name. These codes come from the Library of Congress and not displayed on ISFDB pages at this time.
- latin_script - a Yes/No flag indicating whether the language uses a Latin-derived script. If the language supports multiple scripts (e.g. Serbian) and one of them is Latin-derived, the flag is set to 'Yes'. This flag is used by nightly cleanup reports to find records that may have been entered using the wrong script.
