ISO 639 Language Lookup

Searches a curated list of ~150 widely-spoken languages — the top ~100 by speakers plus all six UN official languages and major regional languages. Returns the ISO 639-1 alpha-2 code, ISO 639-2/T (terminological) alpha-3 code, the ISO 639-2/B (bibliographic) variant when it differs, the English name, the native (endonym) name, the language family and writing direction (LTR / RTL / TTB). Useful for product engineers building locale pickers, content teams tagging translations, and i18n developers validating BCP-47 tags. Match strategy: 2 chars → alpha-2 exact; 3 chars → alpha-3 exact (terminological or bibliographic); longer → case-insensitive substring on name or nativeName.
