[Suppress-Script] Initial list of 300 languages

[John Cowan]

The following is a list of 300 language subtags from ISO 639-1 and ISO 639-2
for which we do not have Suppress-Script information.  Please reply,
annotating the list with those languages of which you have personal
knowledge.  I will kick off the effort by noting all the ones I know.

The rules of the game are that a language is to be given a Suppress-Script
if the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of documents written in the language
use that script.  Not "all documents", not "most documents", but the
overwhelming majority.

Among the reasons why a language subtag should *not* get Suppress-Script:

	1) It denotes a language not customarily written at all
	   (transcriptions for linguistic purposes do not count)

	2) It denotes not a single language but a collection of languages
	   (I have weeded out some of these but not all)

	3) There is no single script which satisfies the "overwhelming
	   majority" requirement.

In any of these cases, please note the reason in your reply.
