Don,

The right place for this query is the ISO 639 RA. But the official
code list will answer your question:

http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html

bm is Bambara, bambara
ff is Fulah, peul
ig is Igbo, igbo

>I was surprised to find that some 2-letter ISO-639-1 language codes I thought

You were apparently not looking at an offical list of codes.

Best regards,
