Update of this issue: we now have iso-639-3-v2 that seems to be comprehensive. Only problem with the current version of is-639-3-v2 is that the labels are in German and not in English - and it looks also to me that we do have an encoding problem here (not sure if this is a problem of the ingest of the vocabulary or of the API endpoint), have a look here: https://sshoc-marketplace-api.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/api/vocabularies/iso-639-3-v2?perpage=100&page=1 You will see that it has German labels like "Sprachcodes" or "Arvanitisch" and you will see for the entry 14 (code: "aaq") that the label "Östliche Abenaki" does not show up correct due to enconding I guess.
@vronk Is there a chance to get the iso-639-3-v2 in an English version? @tparkola Can you identify the encoding issue within the backend? Both: Should we delete the old iso-639-3 vocabulary and if so, should we then rename the current iso-639-3-v2 to iso-639-3?
Also bringing @vronk into this discussion.

Currently, the vocabulary iso-639-3 (languages) only have some items available (https://sshoc-marketplace-api.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/api/vocabularies/iso-639-3). There should be a lot more of them, especially we are currently in need of "mul" (multiple) and "spa" (spanish), as they are used by the curated items. Can we extend the vocabulary at least with this two terms and in the long term, we should have a more exhaustive list e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Languages/List_of_ISO_639-3_language_codes_(2019)
