Preliminary proposal for 225 language-country pairs

[John Cowan]

Attached is a list of 225 language-country pairs expressed as
RFC 3066 two-part tags.  I gleaned these from SIL Ethnologue
information about the official and national languages of
countries.  There is (by intention) an entry for every
country-language pair where the language is official/national
in more than one country.

For example, English is official/national in 76 countries,
Danish in two, Burmese in one, and Navajo in none.
Consequently, English gets 76 entries, Danish 2 entries,
and Burmese and Navajo no entries in the list below.

Please review this list, particularly with reference to
omissions.  I have already spotted one myself (and fixed
the list): en-US.

The language names and country names are SIL's, and are
only meant to aid comprehension: they are not normative.

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all.  There
are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language
that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful.
