Could we follow conventional schemes such as:

ISO Country codes as found here: 
http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements -- 
normally 2 letter code

ISO Language codes as found here: http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp 
-- normally 3 letter code for language (or you could also use the 
http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php -- also 3 letter 
code)

At least we would be follow standardized nomenclature schemes.
