  @GerardM The IANA language tag list has a subfield Script exactly because 
languages can be written in different scripts.
  Neither you nor I could write a single word in Phoenician script. Yet we 
could write a Phoenician word in English and be able to read it, and pronounce 
it approximately correctly.
  This is valuable, no matter if you acknowledge it or not.
  
  > Phoenician transcribed in the Latin script is not standardised and as no 
Phoenicians ever used the Latin script
  
  Sorry Gerard, but this argument is idiotic. 
  Are the LOC rules for transcribing Russian also "non-standard" or useless?

  Do you listen to anyone except your own thoughts?

  Indeed: if you stop with your pointless arguments, maybe that will let us 
make some progress, so users like @PKM can record what  they see in reliable 
sources.
