First of all, thank you very much, your base helped a lot.

For those who want to list all language codes, here is an updated suggestion:

I've updated it with the suggested changes.

Thanks @ayrtoneverton!

Great work, @josantonius! But I was surprised to see that my language (Baluchi) is not listed despite over 10 million speakers.

Thanks @FaisaljanBaloch!

Actually, it's not that Baluchi is missing — it's that many other entries shouldn't be there if we strictly stick to ISO 639-1, which is what I originally intended 😅

I have cleaned up the list to reflect only the valid ISO 639-1 codes.

Baluchi (bal) isn't part of ISO 639-1 — it's included in ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3 instead.
You can find the official code for Baluchi in the Library of Congress.
