Brightraven Registry of Constructed Languages

The Brightraven Registry of Constructed Languages (BRCL)

The Brightraven Registry of Constructed Languages (BRCL) aims to permanently assign unique, alphabetic, lowercase, four-letter codes to all constructed languages note clearly structurally separate from ISO codification efforts for natural languages.

The registry is independent of any international standards organisation and follows its own schema which grew out of discussions in the Conlang Standardisation Task Force (CLSTF) group during 2015 - 2016.

For an alternate (and older) approach that assigns three-letter codes (qaa-qtz) out of the "reserved for local use" area in ISO 639-3, please visit Rebecca Bettencourt's ConLang Code Registry.
