In what way is English an unwritten language? English is a written 
language; application of Zxxx to it would, I think, be a misuse of 
that tag. Zxxx is "code for unwritten languages". Not "code for 
materials not written".

Though it *is* a little odd that we have a code for languages in the 
list of script codes.

Swiss German, of course, is often written for various cultural purposes.
