I also am old enough to have used/remember using BASIC. I remember German and Japanese friends that wrote in BASIC. It was interesting to see German programs where all the keywords were in English and all the text was in German. The Japanese was even more strange as the system had to switch between the code pages for ASCII/LATIN and the one for the Japanese Language.
Today to get something other an ASCII/LATIN, we would have to support Unicode for source code. Does PHP currently work if Unicode is used for identifiers?
