Unifon script?

That’s correct: the ‘fonuni’ subtag, if approved, could be used to validly form any language tag, including both fewer (en-unifon) and more (en-Latn-NZ-unifon) subtags that matched the Prefix field(s) in the registry, as well as other well-formed (but non-sensical) tags (tlh-Cyrl-AQ-unifon).

Any reason why ‘fonuni’ would be the subtag you proposed instead of ‘unifon’?

That seems workable. If I understand the tag building system right, en-fonuni would also be a permissible construction, if the subtag is approved, correct?


I think I'll wait a couple of days for any further suggestions; and unless a better idea is proposed, then I'll submit the form for this one.

It's a Latin orthography. It could get a subtag fonuni, though, for tagging, for example, en-Latin-fonuni.
