Hello,

Thanks for the answer.
It's clear to me, that I could map "Hana" and "Kata" to "US" just for
the sake of having a Japanese Minority in the states. Of course, the
mapping must be sensible in a way, that is, explain, how the mapping
is done. I'd be fine, I guess, with having all official languages a

This might not work too well, since the ISO 15924 code elements you're
thinking of are "Hira" and "Kana".

This awkward moment... I'm trying to figure out, what I was thinking
of with "Hana".

Cldr has both of those, at least for official and defacto-official
languages.

IMO, mapping scripts at the level of whole countries is, for many if
not most countries, too crude. In India --one example among many we
could name-- it would be much more informative to map at at least the
level of states and territories.
WRT figuring out language->script mappings, remember that

As has been pointed out, you'll have to be careful what your criteria

Actually the Japanese language is normally written in the "Jpan"

A side remark: Europe also writes Greek.

First of all, thanks for all the answers.
It's quite interesting for me to learn, that data here is such
fragmented. As calligrapher, who once was delighted to learn about the
Latf script tag in the context of RFC 5646 et al., I guess I was way
too naive when starting the scripts part of codepoint

If the data is fragmented, it's because the concept is somewhat
fragmented. As others have pointed out, while mapping scripts to
languages may be comparatively straightforward, mapping languages t

FWIW, One of the project by Wikimedia foundation, the Universal
Language Selector project has Language-Script-Region mapping for 600+
languages.

That's great news. I'm really looking forward to see Decode Unicode
