The generally accepted standard for designating languages is ISO 639-2, but this repository uses some weird coding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes

For example:

• czech language: cs (mislabeled as cz)
• japan language: ja (mislabeled as jp)
• greek language: el (mislabeled as gr)
• swedish language: sv (mislabeled as se)

Given the codes, I assume someone is confusing national domain and country codes with language codes - they are not the same. I haven't checked all the codes, most seem correct (like Estonian et, where Estonian country code & domain is ee).
