ISO 639-2

ISO 639-2 is the second part of the ISO 639 International standard, which lists codes for the representation of the names of languages. The three-letter codes given for each language in this part of the standard are referred to as "Alpha-3" codes....
which are considered to be macrolanguages in ISO 639-3.

Some of the macrolanguages had no individual language as defined by 639-3 in ISO 639-2, e.g. 'ara'. Others like 'nor' had their two individual parts (nno, nob) already in 639-2. That means some languages (e.g. 'arb') that were considered by ISO 639-2 to be dialects of one language ('ara') are now in ISO 639-3 in certain contexts considered to be individual languages themselves. This is an attempt to deal with varieties that may be linguistically distinct from each other, but are treated by their speakers as forms of the same language, e.g. in cases of diglossia

Diglossia

In linguistics, diglossia is a situation where a given language community uses not just one dialect, but two: the first being the community's present day vernacular and the second being either an ancestral version of the same vernacular from centuries earlier or a distinct yet closely related present day dialect ....
. For example,

Generic Arabic, 639-2
Standard Arabic, 639-3

Types of macrolanguages

elements that have no ISO 639-2 code: Only one element: hbs
elements that have no ISO 639-1 code: several
elements that have two ISO 639-2 codes: fas, msa, sqi, zho
elements whose individual languages have ISO 639-1 codes:

nor with nn and nb
hbs with hr, bs, sr
