i asked myself the same, and here is the answer:
TV uses the ISOcode which isn't part of the core table "sys_languages".
Its mainly used in xml for translations with lDEF/vDEF where DEF is the 
ISOcode.

I also would like to have ISOcode and langKey integrated in core that 
this dependency isn't needed any longer, core can benefit from this 
fields a lot.

static_info_tables should be an addition to deliver the additional 
informations like names, currency etc.
