| ISO 639-2: | apa |
| English: | Apache languages |
| French: | apache |
The code apa is classified in ISO 639 as a collective language code. It encompasses a collection of related languages that are conventionally called by the given name.
We have mapped this to all languages of the Apachean genetic subgroup of the Na-Dene family that are known as "Apache". This corresponds to all of the languages from that subgroup less Navajo, which we assumed the creators of the apa code would not have had in mind (and which has its own code, [nav]).
This code encompasses the following 5 languages from the Ethnologue:
