Region subtags in BCP 47 identify the language variation typically 
identified with that country or region, not the country in which the 
speaker happens to be physically located.  A person who speaks the 
Serbian-standard dialect is speaking "sr-RS" regardless of whether he or 
she lives in Serbia, Montenegro, or Bhutan.
