  The java.util.Locale.getISO3Language() returns wrong result for a locale with language code 'ta'(Tamil).
It returns 'tat' which is a three-letter code for Tatar(ta). The correct resalt(accordingly to the source
provided in the comments to the bug 4147307 (http://www.triacom.com/archive/iso639-2.en.html)) is 'tam'
(Tamil).

Here is a test demonstrating the bug.
----------------GetISO3LanguageTest.java----------------
import java.util.Locale;

public class GetISO3LanguageTest {

  public static void main(String args[]) {
    Locale l = new Locale("ta", "");

    String code = l.getISO3Language();

    if (!code.equals("tam")) {
      System.out.println("locale '" + l + "': 3-letters code: '" + code + "', expected 3-letters code: 'tam'");
    } else {
      System.out.println("Passed.");
    }
  }
}
--------------The test output----------
> java GetISO3LanguageTest
locale 'ta': 3-letters code: 'tat', expected 3-letters code: 'tam'
