I think you speak about family of languages? Good luck with ISO language codes which does not even define them, and contain many duplicate codes even in the Alpha-2 space (he/iw, in/id), or unprecize codes matching sometimes very imprecize families of languages overlapping other language codes... Until it is demonstrated that a language needs such fix in Unicode support tables, it's best to just say that these fixes are needed for some recognized language codes and that applications are allowed to add their own "fixes" or language tailorings, and that the existing language tailorings in Unicode databases are just non-normative samples. -- Philippe.
