Hello!
First, let me say "thanks" for creating lingua. It's outstanding, and very useful!
I'm integrating it into my application. My application uses ISO-639 codes to identify languages, so the first thing I did was to map the names of the supported languages in the README to their respective ISO-639 codes.
Since I needed it, I figured others might, too. This pull request replaces the list of supported languages in the README with a table that includes the language names, plus their respective ISO-639 codes, and any additional commonly-used names. All data comes from the List of ISO 639 language codes page on Wikipedia.
All feedback welcome! Please feel free to reject if you think this isn't useful. Also, I tried to pick reasonable column header names, but there's a lot of room for opinions there, so that's an easy change.
