Pick from 184 reviewed entries
The tool will be ready after its local script initializes.
How it works
The frozen pool includes active two-letter primary language subtags and their registry descriptions. Deprecated records, extended subtags, scripts, regions, and private-use codes are excluded.
Selection uses the site’s audited rejection-sampling randomizer engine. Unique mode uses a partial Fisher–Yates shuffle so one reviewed entry is not favored over another.
Worked example
Request 3 unique results to receive language names together with their two-letter IANA subtags.
Use Copy for one result or Copy all for the displayed batch.
Scope and limitations
This is a transparent standards-based subset, not a complete catalog of every language, dialect, sign language, historical language, or writing system.
Dataset source: IANA Language Subtag Registry. Frozen for this local release candidate on October 6, 2026. Data licensing notices.
