Thanks--there's another program that gives this kind of info, and more,
but I can't remember its name.

Back on this one: most of those codes appear to be ISO 639-1 codes
(including a large number of Latin script languages).  And I can figure out
what the hyphenated codes are, e.g. ku-ir is Iranian Kurdish (with the
second code being an ISO 3166-1 country code).  But what are the
three-letter codes in there?  ast, fur, nds, sma, smj, vot and yap?  639-2
codes?  

I wish fc-list were better documented...
