I could be wrong. The first group indicates the principal language of the country of publication (I knew the exact wording from the definition once; this is close enough). The ISBN for a book published in Germany written in English will still begin with a 3. ISBNs for books published in Canada (whether in French or English or gibberish) begin with a 0.
