Updated over a week ago

These language codes are a subset of the CEDS ISO 639-3 language code standards and represent the most commonly spoken languages in the United States. This is the subset of languages Amplify currently uses for identifying a student's home language for demographic reporting. The three-letter language code should be used for identifying the primary language spoken in a student’s home when that language isn’t English.
