    Summary: Let \(\mathbb M_n\) be the class of all multiloop algebras of finite dimensional simple Lie algebras relative to \(n\)-tuples of commuting finite order automorphisms. It is a classical result that \(\mathbb M_1\) is the class of all derived algebras modulo their centres of affine Kac-Moody Lie algebras. This combined with the Peterson-Kac conjugacy theorem for affine algebras results in a classification of the algebras in \(\mathbb M_1\). In this paper, we classify the algebras in \(\mathbb M_2\), and further determine the relationship between \(\mathbb M_2\) and two other classes of Lie algebras: the class of all loop algebras of affine Lie algebras and the class of all extended affine Lie algebras of nullity 2.
