The small codes are source language tags. A tag such as en-US includes a language and a regional variant; it is different from an ISO country code on its own.

FIFA and IOC values are source references, not confirmation of current membership or event participation. FIPS 10-4 was withdrawn in 2008; legacy FIPS-style values are for interpreting older datasets and must not replace current ISO codes.
