It would be great if ConTeXt supported:

\mainlanguage
[serbian]
[script=latin | cyrillic]

as well as

\mainlanguage
[english]
[variant=american | british]

etc. This is what Polyglossia does and I find it nice.


+1. How hard would it be to implement that?


i have no clue what it means but we have already inheritance in place 
since ages


so effectively we have:

\installlanguage [usenglish]   [en-us]
\installlanguage [ukenglish]   [en-gb]
\installlanguage [english] [en-us]

and adding

\installlanguage [brittish][en-uk]

is no big deal

i see no advantage in adding yet another mechanism for that

with regards to script ... not sure how that relates as the language 
mechanism does two things


- labels and conventions (time, date, numbering, quoting, ...)
- hyphenation control
