Re: Dataset for all ISO639 code sorted by country/territory?

I manage to find a dataset on the website of Ethnologue, though it doesn't
look like open source, need to check with them exactly how I'm allowed to
use it:
http://www.ethnologue.com/codes/download-code-tables

Thanks for the explanation Phillippe. I know it is not an easy issue. Look
for different resources on the web, any specific links or feedbacks would
be helpful.
