## Language Code
Generally, the language's international
[ISO 639-1](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1) code is used to identify
the language. It is used in the filenames which contain the language's
data. In the examples below the code **"fr"** is used as an example.
Replace this with the code of your language.
The language is identified using the
[BCP 47](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF_language_tag) language tag.
When this is not enough to identify an accent, the
[bcp47-data](https://github.com/rhdunn/bcp47-data) accents file describes
the private use tags used by eSpeak NG. For example:
If the language does not have a 2-letter ISO\_639-1 code, then use the
3-letter ISO\_639-3 code. Language codes may differ from country codes.
It is possible to have different variants of a language for different
dialects. For example the sound of some phonemes are changed, or some of
the pronunciation rules differ.
* `en` -- English
* `en-GB-scotland` -- English with a Scottish accent
* `en-GB-x-rp` -- English with a Received Pronunciation accent
* `es-419` -- Spanish with a Latin American accent
* `fr-CA` -- French with a Canadian accent
