+language codes.
+
+@code{python-langcodes} implements @url{http://tools.ietf.org/html/bcp47, BCP
+47}, the IETF Best Current Practices on Tags for Identifying Languages.  BCP
+47 is also known as RFC 5646.  It subsumes ISO 639 and is backward compatible
+with it, and it also implements recommendations from the
+@url{http://cldr.unicode.org/, Unicode CLDR}.
+
+@code{python-langcodes} can also refer to a database of language properties
+and names, built from Unicode CLDR and the IANA subtag registry, if you
+install @code{python-language-data}.")
