For E, see
E language (which is also, unfortunately, unsourced). For an explanation of what this is about, see
ISO 639-3.
My personal opinion is that long lists of obscure codes like this are a maintenance headache - who's got a subscription to the circular where updates are published, and will take on the task of applying the updates? --

I've done a
WP:BB and added information to the heading template about the source for the codes. I still don't know where the "native name" information comes from, though. --

The thing is, a reader should be able to tell from this article what this is a list of and why it is important. I don't think it's there yet.

The reason for my question: I was wondering whether the source could have been
http://www.ethnologue.com/14/show_language.asp?code=EEE. But, in the Ethnologue page, could E be a transcription? or the English name considered as being the same name as the name in E? Could the actual name in E be e, instead of E? I'm not even sure of the script used by the language (same Latin script as Zhuang languages? Chinese script?).

I don't know - the Ethnologue cites "1992 J. A. Edmondson" as its source - it may be one of the papers listed under 1992 at
this URL... the one entitled "Some Kadai languages of northern Guangxi, China" contains a couple of pages about E, but does not answer your question.... --
