Could you be thinking of something else? Maybe:
* A 3-letter abbreviation for a language: Like "Eng" for English, "Chi" for Chinese, or "Jap" for Japanese.
* A language family: Like "TAI" for the Tai-Kadai family or "MND" for Mon-Khmer.
* A specific word: Some words in Southeast Asian languages might be 3 letters long.
If you can give me more context, I might be able to help you find the language you're looking for!
