<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm aware of the code for Scots, but
I don't think that's the correct tag in this case. I have the same film
in two variants -- the original Glaswegian English and dubbed British English.
I need codes to distinguish the two. Accents can cause mutual intelligibility
problems, so in audio variants I'd argue that accents matter. There are
also some differences in word choice and common colloquialisms.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The difference was apparently important
enough to warrant an expensive separate dubbing session by the original
actors. English speakers who were not from Scotland were not able to easily
understand the Glaswegian English, whereas British English was more easily
understood. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Remember, in my industry we make a strong
distinction between audio and text languages as the same visual content
can feature many different subtitled and dubbed language tracks. To be
clear, I'm NOT making any suggestion that this tag should only apply to
audio language, though that's the only place we'd use it.</font>
