ISO 639-5 (ISO 639-5:2008), titled "Codes for the representation of names of languages – Part 5: Alpha-3 code for language families and groups", is an international-standard developed by ISO/TC 37/SC 2. The international standard was published on May 15, 2008.
It is part 5 of ISO 639.
Languages, families, or groups that have an ISO 639-2 code can be of type "group" (g) or "rest group" (r), where a "group" consists of several related languages, while a "rest group" is a group of several related languages, from which some specific languages have been excluded. In ISO 639-5, the "rest groups" have been redefined to cover its entire group; thus, their meaning cannot be ascertained without knowing whether they are used in their ISO 639-2 meaning or their ISO 639-5 meaning.
Examples of the relation to ISO 639-2:
