Language System Tags
Language system tags identify the language systems supported in a OpenType Layout font. What is meant by a “language system” in this context is a set of typographic conventions for how text in a given script should be presented. Such conventions may be associated with particular languages, with particular genres of usage, with different publications, and other such factors. For example, particular glyph variants for certain characters may be required for particular languages, or for phonetic transcription or mathematical notation.
In principle, a given set of conventions may be shared across multiple scenarios. For instance, two different languages (perhaps unrelated) may happen to follow the same conventions. Language system tags can be registered on a perceived-need basis, however; as a result, there is no guarantee that each tag represents a distinct and unique set of conventions. Tags can, however, be registered with the intent of representing conventions that apply to multiple languages. In such cases, the documented description for the tag should reflect that intent.
It should also be noted that there may be more than one set of typographic conventions that apply to a given language.
Therefore, in several respects, language system tags do not correspond in a one-to-one manner with languages. Even so, many registered tags are intended to represent typographic conventions for a particular language. For cases in which a correlation exists between a tag and one or more languages, the language identities are documented here by reference to ISO 639-2 and ISO 639-3.
Note: ISO 639-2 provides identifiers for individual languages as well as for certain collections of languages. ISO 639-3 provides identifiers for a more-comprehensive set of individual languages, though not for collections. Entities in ISO 639 that are referenced here may include any of the individual languages covered in ISO 639-2 or ISO 639-3, or to any of the collections covered in ISO 639-2.
Note: The ISO 639 data for a given language system can include identifiers that are equivalent or narrower in scope. For example, when a language system corresponds to an ISO 639 collection, the ISO 639 identifiers for individual languages within that collection may also be listed. On the other hand, if a language system corresponds to an ISO 639 individual language identifier, ISO 639 collection identifiers are not also listed. In some cases, an individual language identifier may be listed for multiple language system tags.
If information is available to an application declaring the language of text content, then the application may make use of that to select a default language system tag to be applied when displaying that text. It is preferable, however, to give users control over the choice of language system tag to be used. (Depending on the application scenario, such control may be given to content authors, to content readers, or to both.)
All tags are four-character strings composed of a limited set of ASCII characters; for details regarding the Tag data type, see Data Types. By convention, registered language system tags use three or four capital letters (0x41 to 0x5A).
Note: The tags 'dflt' and 'DFLT', as language system tags, are permanently reserved and are not used in OpenType fonts. Within the structure of GPOS and GSUB tables, data is organized by Script tables, and each Script table has an offset to a default language system (LangSys) table. These structures do not involve use of any language system tag. Some font development tools may use 'dflt' or 'DFLT' as a means to indicate data that should get compiled into a default LangSys table. That is a tool-specific convention, and it is the responsibility of font tool developers to compile data into appropriate structures with the font file. An OpenType font should never include language system records (LangSysRecord) with the 'dflt' or 'DFLT' tag.
Requests to register additional language system tags can be submitted using the feedback mechanism at the bottom of this page or at https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/typography-issues/issues.
In the following table, entries marked with an asterisk (“*”) have been added to the registry since the current OpenType version was published.
