+ [This is not a module; it is documentation]
+
+=head1 ABOUT LANGUAGE TAGS
+
+Internet language tags, as defined in RFC 3066, are a formalism
+for denoting human languages. The two-letter ISO 639-1 language
+codes are well known (as "en" for English), as are their forms
+when qualified by a country code ("en-US"). Less well-known are the
+arbitrary-length non-ISO codes (like "i-mingo"), and the
+recently (in 2001) introduced three-letter ISO-639-2 codes.
+
+Remember this important facts:
+
+=over
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not locale IDs. A locale ID is written with a "_"
+instead of a "-", (almost?) always matches C<m/^\w\w_\w\w\b/>, and
+I<means> something different than a language tag. A language tag
+denotes a language. A locale ID denotes a language I<as used in>
+a particular place, in combination with non-linguistic
+location-specific information such as what currency in used
+there. Locales I<also> often denote character set information,
+as in "en_US.ISO8859-1".
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not for computer languages.
+
+=item *
+
+"Dialect" is not a useful term, since there is no objective
+criterion for establishing when two languages are
+dialects of eachother, or are separate languages.
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not case-sensitive. en-US, en-us, En-Us, etc.,
+are all the same tag, and denote the same language.
+
+=item *
+
+Not every language tag really refers to a single language. Some
+language tags refer to conditions: i-default (system-message text
+in English plus maybe other languages), und (undetermined
+language). Others (notably lots of the three-letter codes) are
+bibliographic tags that classify whole groups of languages, as
+with cus "Cushitic (Other)" (i.e., a
+language that has been classed as Cushtic, but which has no more
+specific code) or the even less linguistically coherent
+sai for "South American Indian (Other)". While useful in
+bibliography, B<SUCH TAGS ARE NOT
+FOR GENERAL USE>. For further guidance, email me.
+
+=item *
+
+Language tags are not country codes. In fact, they are often
+distinct codes, as with language tag ja for Japanese, and
+ISO 3166 country code C<.jp> for Japan.
+

+
+=head1 LIST OF LANGUAGES
+
+The first part of each item is the language tag, between
+{...} and in italic characters. It
+is followed by an English name for the language or language-group.
+Language tags that I judge to be not for general use, are bracketed.
+
+This list is in alphabetical order by English name of the language.
