LANGUAGE TAG REGISTRATION FORM
Name of requester : Peter Constable
E-mail address of requester: <petercon @ microsoft.com>
Tag to be registered : bs-Latn
English name of language : Bosnian in Latin script
Native name of language (transcribed into ASCII): bosanski
Reference to published description of the language (book or article):
Bosnian is customarily written both in Cyrillic script and also in
Latin script.
It is often required, when matching languages, to select a subset of
documents written in a particular script. When looking up language
resources, this is even more important, so that text in different
scripts is not mixed.
Thus, it is important to be able to distinguish between scripts used
in writing bs: bs-Latn vs. bs-Cyrl.
