OpenType language system tags

Inside a Script table of GSUB or GPOS, each LangSysRecord is named by a language system tag. A language system is a set of typographic conventions for a script: usually those of one language, but a tag may also stand for a group of languages, a style of writing or a phonetic notation, and one language may have more than one. Software that knows the language of the text picks the matching tag, and falls back to the script’s default language system when the font has none for it.

How the tags are written

Registered tags are three or four capital letters (0x41 to 0x5A), sometimes with a digit. A three-letter tag is padded with one space: ENG is stored as 45 4E 47 20. The table below leaves the space out.
dflt and DFLT are reserved and never appear as language system tags. Some font tools use them in source files to mean the default language system, which is stored through the Script table’s defaultLangSysOffset instead.
The third column gives the ISO 639 codes (639-3 for single languages, 639-2 for collections) of the languages the tag is meant for, where there are any. A narrower code may be listed alongside a broader one, and one language code may appear under several tags.
Tags are added to the registry on request, so two tags may in practice share the same conventions.
