$ npm install langs
This library provides ISO 639-1/2/3 language codes with English and local names. It can be installed in whichever way you prefer, but I recommend NPM.
What's with all the ISO version numbers?
ISO 639 is broken up into many different parts, each either defining language codes or defining standards for codes in later versions. The ones included in this library are:
ISO 639-12 characters, one per language or ISO 639 macrolanguageISO 639-2/2T3 characters, one per languageISO 639-2B3 characters, mostly the same as639-2Tbut with some derived from their English name rather than local nameISO 639-33 characters, mostly the same as639-2Tbut using the canonical ISO 639 macrolanguage code
The macrolanguages described above cover cases where a language is considered to be a dialect of another in some standards but not in others, e.g Standard Arabic arb and Arabic ara. There's more information on the Wikipedia page.
