TTL - Language
System of communication used by a particular community or Country.
In some cases, although they are called in the same way, languages have some variations between different communities or countries which are locales in the SDMX information model. The most common used standards to classify languages are ISO 639-1, ISO 639-2/T, ISO 639-2/B, ISO-639-3; ISO 639-1 use two letters codes and the others use three letters.
The language Concept could be used with two purposes:
- To describe which is the communication system adopted by a particular community or Country;
- To select the correct set of descriptions in a Codelist. The Codes used by statistical classifications are language independent but they are described by labels which can be written in multiple languages. In order to select the correct description for a specific context, it is needed to specify which language will be used to present those descriptions to a group of communities or countries.
