reads a local copy of data from the table at http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php, extractsthe ISO 639-2 and 639-2T codes and their associated language names

useful lines in the source table have the form: \t\t\t<639-2 code>\t<639-1 code>\nwhere: is primary English name (not used here); one of so duplicates code listing is all of the English names (used here) is all of the French names (not used here) <639-2 code> is the three-character ISO 639-2 or 639-2B/639-2T language code; both are used <639-1 code> is the two-character ISO 639-1 language code synonym of the -2 code (not used here)
