Re: [Ltru] Extended language tags (long reply)

Short answer to a short question - go for language groups (tag  
languages in groups which make sense and require little or no  
explaining), rather than inventing confusing concepts and naming them  
"extlang", "macrolanguage", which, at least to date, seem to beg more  
questions than they can answer.
