Reshat Sabiq's requests for two Tatar orthographic variants

[CE Whitehead]

There was an error in my final comment--what I meant was don't we need the 
subtags with all the languages on the list Reshat provided, and not just 
with tt and tg? (see below)--I was just really tired when I sent this reply 
off yesterday;

(We need the variants for the orthographies because the modern Latin 
alphabet is a bit different and the subtag NTA is real clear [the 
description should be simply "New Turkic Alphabet" I think]!!!)

I goofed in the posting above, what I meant to ask is where are the various 
languages you've just listed above; but I guess Reshat just wants the two 
tags here and does not want to order the others.
However, we maybe might just as well include the other languages as well, 
as, ba, etc.
