The cultural registry at DKUUG can do that kind of thing, but I don't think it is very highly stocked. For some of these things you can combine language and country codes fairly freely. See ISO 639, and also the ISO 3066 language tag registry (http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso639/iana-lang-assignments.html) -- Michael Everson *** Everson Typography *** http://www.evertype.com
