Introduction
This document provides an overview of language code identifiers (LCIDs), also known as culture identifiers. Additionally, this document specifies a set of locale identifiers that designate culture-specific information such as how text is sorted, how a date is formatted, and the display format for numbers and currency. Sections 1.7 and 2 of this specification are normative and can contain the terms MAY, SHOULD, MUST, MUST NOT, and SHOULD NOT as defined in RFC 2119. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
1.1
Glossary
The following terms are specific to this document: BIG5: Believed to be derived from either the five companies (Acer, MiTAC, JiaJia, Zero One, and FIC) that developed this standard or from the intended development and support of five major software packages from these companies. The original character set is sorted first by usage frequency, second by stroke count, and finally by radical. The BIG5 encoding was defined by the Institute for Information Industry of Taiwan in 1984. Bopomofo: A phonetic system used for transcribing Chinese. Named for the first four letters of the traditional Chinese phonemic alphabet (bo, po, mo, and fo). Chinese BIG5 order: Ideographs are ordered according to the code point values of the Taiwanese BIG5 industrial standard. Chinese radical stroke order: Ideographs are ordered according to radical stroke count. Chinese Unicode order: Deprecated. Identical to the default sort information used for English. Georgian modern order: An order for the Georgian language that places archaic characters that are no longer used at the end of the alphabet. Georgian traditional order: An order for the Georgian language that intersperses archaic characters that are no longer used among the rest of the alphabet in their traditional places. German phone book order: An order that equates , , and with AE, OE, and UE, respectively (commonly used in German phone books). Hungarian default order: The typical expected alphabetical order for the Hungarian language. Hungarian technical order: A sort order that places capital letters before lowercase ones, unlike most sorts, which sort lowercase first. Japanese radical/stroke sort order: Ideographs are ordered by their radical and stroke components, much like an ideographic dictionary might do. Japanese Unicode order: Deprecated. Identical to the default sort information used for English, except that the backslash (\) is equal to the currency symbol, 0x00A5, the yen sign. Japanese XJIS order: Ideographs are ordered according to the code point values of the [JIS X 208] and [JIS X 212] government standards.
Korean KSC order: Ideographs are ordered according to the Korean Hangul pronunciation, as specified in the Korean [KSC 6501] government standard. Korean Unicode order: Deprecated. Identical to the default sort information used for English, except that the backslash (\) is equal to the currency symbol, 0x20A9, the won sign. PRC Chinese phonetic order: Ideographs are ordered according to their A to Z pronunciation order. PRC Chinese stroke count order: Ideographs are ordered according to their stroke count. Traditional Chinese Bopomofo order: Ideographs are ordered by their most common Mandarin pronunciation, using the Chinese Bopomofo order of the pronunciations. MAY, SHOULD, MUST, SHOULD NOT, MUST NOT: These terms (in all caps) are used as described in [RFC2119]. All statements of optional behavior use either MAY, SHOULD, or SHOULD NOT.

1.3
Overview
The LCID structure is used to identify specific languages for the purpose of customizing software for particular languages and cultures. For example, it can specify the way dates, times, and numbers are formatted as strings. It can also specify paper sizes and preferred sort order based on language elements.
1.4
Relationship to Protocols and Other Structures
This structure is related to protocols and structures that need to make special cases for specific languages and cultures.
1.5
Applicability Statement
This structure applies in scenarios where special cases need to be made for specific languages and cultures.
1.6
Versioning and Localization
This structure serves to identify particular languages, locales, and cultures.
1.7
Vendor-Extensible Fields
None.

2.1
Structures
Language Code Identifiers
LCIDs are identifiers used to specify localizable information. They are also known as culture identifiers in the Microsoft .NET Framework environment. The name of a culture consists of its [ISO-639] language code, its [ISO-3166] country/region code, and an optional [ISO-15924] script tag for the written language, as described in [RFC4646]. For example, the name of the culture in which the language is Bosnian (as written in Latin script and used in the Bosnia and Herzegovina region) is bs-Latn-BA.<1><2><3> Many APIs permit use of the culture name, which is preferred over the LCID form.
2.2
LCID Structure
This protocol references commonly used data types as defined in [MS-DTYP]. An LCID is a 4-byte value. The value supplied in an LCID is a standard numeric substitution for the international [RFC4646] string. The following diagram is shown in host byte order.

Sort ID
Language ID
Reserved (12 bits): This field is reserved for future use. It MUST be 0. Sort ID (4 bits): The sort order. In most cases, this value can be 0x0, which indicates a default sort (SORT_DEFAULT). However, other values can be used when an alternate sort is required. These alternate values are listed in the following table. For example, 0x0407 (German Germany) becomes 0x10407 when SORT_GERMAN_PHONE_BOOK is used.
