Anyway, if this is about supporting the same language in different scripts we can sort that out by using proper language tags and hard categorizing the CTL one. However, the Malay language group is confusing to me. Are we talking about "Standard Malay [zsm]" https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/zsm written in Latin and Arabic script, or any of the various languages listed under the [msa] macrolanguage code there (the macrolanguage code being the [ms] 639-1 code we currently have as tag, which actually is not "a language"), or "Malay (individual language) [zlm]" https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/zlm Eike -- LibreOffice Calc developer.
