GtkHtml uses iso-codes to present a list of spell checking languages.
It parses the iso_639.xml and iso_3166.xml files (using GMarkupParser)
into hash tables, then uses the tables to construct language/country
code descriptions of the form "language-name (country-name)" with
suitable fallbacks.

It's probably the most obvious approach, and perhaps not what you're
looking for.  But the parser, should you wish to peek, is in:

   gtkhtml/components/editor/gtkhtml-spell-language.c

HTH,
