Policy and formulation

For authority data, give MARC language codes for languages used by the entity described. For bibliographic data, give codes for languages present in the work or expression being cataloged.

For authority data, only assign language codes for entities responsible for textual content. Do not use this field for artists or printmakers, for example.
