Question related to this, do we take the opportunity to standardise |
| 11 |
the values? Looks like the vast majority follows |
| 12 |
language[_territory][@modifier] specified by POSIX [1] but some don't. |

|
| 14 |
Also there are a few duplicates, like sr@Latn / sr@latin and uz@Cyrl / |
| 15 |
uz@cyrillic. I suggest that we adhere to the BCP 47 [2] names if |
| 16 |
possible (which would be Latn and Cyrl for the examples mentioned). |
