A difference between OSI standards and Internet standards
in the networking area is that some Internet standards (for
example SMTP) use English-language or English-like words
in the coding. OSI standards usually use a binary format
with basically integer labels, so OSI standards are in this
respect not related to a particular natural language.

(OSI standards may be related to natural languages in their
coding of data, where for example the name format in X.400/
1984 version is strongly oriented toward English by the
character set they allow in names.)
