Re: [Ltru] Consensus call: extlang

You're right, that's the more complete description.

"zh-yue-Hans-MO"

=>

"yue-Hans-MO, yue-Hans, yue, zh"

=

"Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and-as-used-in-Macao-but-then-fall-back-to-Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and then fall-back-to-Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and-then-fall-back-to-ambiguously-Chinese-of-indeterminent-script"

Strictly speaking, wouldn't that be "Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and-as-used-in-Macao-but-then-fall-back-to-Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and then fall-back-to-Cantonese-in-Simplified-Han-script-and-then-fall-back-to-ambiguously-Chinese-of-indeterminent-script", in lookup?
