Hi, I just wanted to clarify the formation of subtags for the variant tarask
(see below):

Would the correct tags for the tarask variant then be??:
be-tarask { Classical, Cyrillic Script }
(= be-Cyrl-tarask )
be-latn-tarask {Classical, Latin Script}
be {official, Cyrillic Script, for now}
(= be-Cyrl )
be-latn {official, Latin Script, for now}
But never use tarask-Cyrl or tarask-Latn as these probably can not be
matched to
any other tag using be , including be-tarask???
(I see tarask is now in the registry!!!)
Thanks.
