Does anyone know of an rfc or something that has a list of "common"
languages that doesn't result in a superlong dropdown? I'd rather have
60 languages than 400.

See RFC3066 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt
We don't want a list with hundreds of languages including Mohawk and
obscure tongues almost no one speaks.

What I need is a list of "common" languages. I know I haven't defined
"common", but there must be existing lists we can just use instead of
reinventing the wheel? The audience is worldwide.

Cheers,
Peter
