NAME
       Locale::Codes::LangFam - standard codes for language extension identification

SYNOPSIS
          use Locale::Codes::LangFam;

          $lext = code2langfam('apa');                 # $lext gets 'Apache languages'
          $code = langfam2code('Apache languages');    # $code gets 'apa'

          @codes   = all_langfam_codes();
          @names   = all_langfam_names();

DESCRIPTION
       The "Locale::Codes::LangFam" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying
       language families, such as those as defined in ISO 639-5.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to
       use. If not specified, the default ISO 639-5 language family codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS
       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language families. A
       code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant that is automatically
       exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

          $lext = code2langfam('apa','alpha');
          $lext = code2langfam('apa',LOCALE_LANGFAM_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
           This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 639-5 such as 'apa' for
           Apache languages.

           This is the default code set.
