Languages

Hello,

I have two questions about languages.

1. Is there an official rule for language abbreviation such as English to Eng, Japanese to Jpn, Chinese to Chn etc. ?
I mean that these abbreviations are commonly used? If it is "yes", is there a website that show all abbreviations for languages?

2. I make my group member book and would like to mention member's language proficiency. I heard that if I speak English and Japanese. My English is very fluent but Japanese is a beginning level. then.. I heard that I have to write English with Capital letters like ENG and Japanese with lower letters like Jpn. Is it right?

Thanks
