    Label:         RFC 3066
    Definition:    Internet RFC 3066 'Tags for the Identification of
                   Languages' specifies a primary subtag which
                   is a two-letter code taken from ISO 639 part
                   1 or a three-letter code taken from ISO 639
                   part 2, followed optionally by a two-letter
                   country code taken from ISO 3166.  When a
                   language in ISO 639 has both a two-letter and
                   three-letter code, use the two-letter code;
                   when it has only a three-letter code, use the
                   three-letter code.  This RFC replaces RFC
                   1766.
