Of the latter class, some can be identified with particular BCP 47 tags, but the bulk cannot due to the lack of corresponding registered variants. In addition, there are concepts like "Written X" that have no BCP 47 equivalent at present; we can represent "X written in script Y" but not the concept of "X written in any script."
It would -- or at least it should -- be a simple matter for ietf-languages to register two variant subtags, 'written' and 'spoken', each with no Prefix, if this is felt to be a genuine need.
