Awesome list!
I think you meant ISO 639-2, not 629-2, since this doesn't appear to have anything to do with tractors.

This list looks great here but when I pull it into Excel 2016....HK/Chinese, India/Hindi, and Thailand don't render properly. Do you know why?

I am using a nodejs/mysql project and wish to use this list, can someone please tell me if its more efficient (in terms of faster loading) of this complete list to load from a file or a mysql db?

Formatting3

H24 means Heisei 24. Heisei is a Japanese Era. Same meaning as year 2012. May also be written as 平成24年 for example. A new era recently started so year 2019 is Reiwa 1.
