The code sai is classified in ISO 639 as a collective language code. It encompasses a collection of languages (not necessarily related) that are associated with a given geographic region.
MARC defines this in terms of language families / phyla that are found predominantly in South America. Thus, it may not include a language spoken in South America if, for example, it is from a phylum that is located primarily in Central America. We have mapped this code on the same basis.
It is mapped to the following subgroups in the Ethnologue's genetic classification system:
The code sai excludes all the languages that are covered by the more specific ISO codes that fall within the above genetic subgroups. These include the following codes:
| arn | Araucanian |
| arw | Arawak |

| car | Carib |
