    Hi Randy,

    Those codes are ISO 639 language codes and ISO 3166
    country codes.

    http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/iso639a.html
    http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/02iso-3166-code-lists/list-en1.html

    Examples:

    English: en
    English, as spoken in America: en_US
    English, as spoken in Australia: en_AU
    Portuguese: pt
    Portuguese, as spoken in Portugal: pt_PT
    Portuguese, as spoken in Brazil: pt_BR
    Russian: ru
    Russian, as spoken in Russia: ru_RU

    However, please make the AbiWord developers of any
    languages missing from our existing Ispell support.

    Also, please note that with Enchant, this process is
    entirely different.

    Thanks,
    Dom
