ISO 3166 The International Standard for country codes and codes for their subdivisions The purpose of ISO 3166 is to define internationally recognized codes of letters and/or numbers that we can use when we refer to countries and their subdivisions. However, it does not define the names of countries – this information comes from United Nations sources (Terminology Bulletin Country Names and the Country and Region Codes for Statistical Use maintained by the United Nations Statistics Divisions). The country codes can be represented either as a two-letter code (alpha-2) which is recommended as the general-purpose code, a three-letter code (alpha-3) which is more closely related to the country name and a three-digit numeric code (numeric-3) which can be useful if you need to avoid using Latin script. iso.org --- In HTML, we use the country code when we define the lang atribute. The lang attribute is used to identify the language of text content on the web. This information helps search engines return language specific results, and it is also used by screen readers that switch language profiles to provide the correct accent and pronunciation. The way the country codes are defined is that it has two parts. The first two characters defines the language (ISO 639-1) of the website, and the second two characters define the country. This is because several countries have more than one language as the official language. The following example specifies English as language and United States as country: <html lang="en-US"> ... </html> Country Codes Country Iso Code AFGHANISTAN AF ALBANIA AL ALGERIA DZ AMERICAN SAMOA AS ANDORRA AD ANGOLA AO ANTARCTICA AQ ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA AG ARGENTINA AR ARMENIA AM ARUBA AW AUSTRALIA AU AUSTRIA AT AZERBAIJAN AZ BAHAMAS BS BAHRAIN BH BANGLADESH BD BARBADOS BB BELARUS BY BELGIUM BE BELIZE BZ BENIN BJ BERMUDA BM BHUTAN BT BOLIVIA BO BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA BA BOTSWANA BW BOUVET ISLAND BV BRAZIL BR BRITISH INDIAN OCEAN TERRITORY IO BRUNEI DARUSSALAM BN BULGARIA BG BURKINA FASO BF BURUNDI BI CAMBODIA KH CAMEROON CM CANADA CA CAPE VERDE CV CAYMAN ISLANDS KY CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC CF CHAD TD CHILE CL CHINA CN CHRISTMAS ISLAND CX COCOS (KEELING) ISLANDS CC COLOMBIA CO COMOROS KM CONGO CG CONGO, THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CD COOK ISLANDS CK COSTA RICA CR CÔTE D'IVOIRE CI CROATIA HR CUBA CU CYPRUS CY CZECH REPUBLIC CZ DENMARK DK DJIBOUTI DJ DOMINICA DM DOMINICAN REPUBLIC DO ECUADOR EC EGYPT EG EL SALVADOR SV EQUATORIAL GUINEA GQ ERITREA ER ESTONIA EE ETHIOPIA ET FALKLAND ISLANDS (MALVINAS) FK FAROE ISLANDS FO FIJI FJ FINLAND FI FRANCE FR FRENCH GUIANA GF FRENCH POLYNESIA PF FRENCH SOUTHERN TERRITORIES TF GABON GA GAMBIA GM GEORGIA GE GERMANY DE GHANA GH GIBRALTAR GI GREECE GR GREENLAND GL GRENADA GD GUADELOUPE GP GUAM GU GUATEMALA GT GUINEA GN GUINEA-BISSAU GW GUYANA GY HAITI HT HEARD ISLAND AND MCDONALD ISLANDS HM HONDURAS HN HONG KONG HK HUNGARY HU ICELAND IS INDIA IN INDONESIA ID IRAN, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IR IRAQ IQ IRELAND IE ISRAEL IL ITALY IT JAMAICA JM JAPAN JP JORDAN JO KAZAKHSTAN KZ KENYA KE KIRIBATI KI KOREA, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KP KOREA, REPUBLIC OF KR KUWAIT KW KYRGYZSTAN KG LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC (LAOS) LA LATVIA LV LEBANON LB LESOTHO LS LIBERIA LR LIBYA, STATE OF LY LIECHTENSTEIN LI LITHUANIA LT LUXEMBOURG LU MACAO MO MACEDONIA, THE FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC OF MK MADAGASCAR MG MALAWI MW MALAYSIA MY MALDIVES MV MALI ML MALTA MT MARSHALL ISLANDS MH MARTINIQUE MQ MAURITANIA MR MAURITIUS MU MAYOTTE YT MEXICO MX MICRONESIA, FEDERATED STATES OF FM MOLDOVA, REPUBLIC OF MD MONACO MC MONGOLIA MN MONTENEGRO ME MONTSERRAT MS MOROCCO MA MOZAMBIQUE MZ MYANMAR MM NAMIBIA NA NAURU NR NEPAL, FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF NP NETHERLANDS NL NETHERLANDS ANTILLES AN NEW CALEDONIA NC NEW ZEALAND NZ NICARAGUA NI NIGER NE NIGERIA NG NIUE NU NORFOLK ISLAND NF NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS MP NORWAY NO OMAN OM PAKISTAN PK PALAU PW PALESTINE, STATE OF PS PANAMA PA PAPUA NEW GUINEA PG PARAGUAY PY PERU PE PHILIPPINES PH PITCAIRN PN POLAND PL PORTUGAL PT PUERTO RICO PR QATAR QA RÉUNION RE ROMANIA RO RUSSIAN FEDERATION RU RWANDA RW SAINT HELENA SH SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS KN SAINT LUCIA LC SAINT PIERRE AND MIQUELON PM SAINT VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES VC SAMOA WS SAN MARINO SM SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE ST SAUDI ARABIA SA SENEGAL SN SERBIA RS SEYCHELLES SC SIERRA LEONE SL SINGAPORE SG SLOVAKIA SK SLOVENIA SI SOLOMON ISLANDS SB SOMALIA SO SOUTH AFRICA ZA SOUTH GEORGIA AND THE SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS GS SOUTH SUDAN SS SPAIN ES SRI LANKA LK SUDAN SD SURINAME SR SVALBARD AND JAN MAYEN SJ SWAZILAND SZ SWEDEN SE SWITZERLAND CH SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC SY TAIWAN TW TAJIKISTAN TJ TANZANIA, UNITED REPUBLIC OF TZ THAILAND TH TIMOR-LESTE TL TOGO TG TOKELAU TK TONGA TO TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO TT TUNISIA TN TURKEY TR TURKMENISTAN TM TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS TC TUVALU TV UGANDA UG UKRAINE UA UNITED ARAB EMIRATES AE UNITED KINGDOM GB UNITED STATES US UNITED STATES MINOR OUTLYING ISLANDS UM URUGUAY UY UZBEKISTAN UZ VANUATU VU VENEZUELA VE VIET NAM VN VIRGIN ISLANDS, BRITISH VG VIRGIN ISLANDS, U.S. VI WALLIS AND FUTUNA WF WESTERN SAHARA EH YEMEN YE ZAMBIA ZM ZIMBABWE ZW
