This page is just grossly wrong.

ISO-8859-5 and Windows-1251 cover Slavic Cyrillic only.
ISO-8859-6 covers Arabic only, but not Persian ("Farsi") or Urdu.
ISO-8859-9 and Windows-1254 do not cover Azeri or Uzbek.
ISO-8859-8-i is a MIME charset parameter, but not an "ISO code".
ISO-8859-11 (Thai) is missing.
Estonian is not a Baltic language.
ISO-8859-13 (equivalent to Windows-1257) is missing.

Forget this page!
