Filceolaire added a comment. This is very important for the "monolingual text" datatype. We do not enter text in a language. We always enter text in a script. For properties where we make the datatype "monolingual text" it is because we want to know the data in that language. Where there are alternative versions in multiple scripts then it is a requirement that we note which script has been used for the value entered. This is not negotiable. the "language" tag for a "Monolingual text" value is meaningless if it doesn't specify which script version of the language that value is in. In many cases it will be more important to specify the script than the language (since there well may be multiple languages using the same script version).
If this means "redefining what a language is" then we need to get on that right now.
