[OpenType] RE: [mpeg-OTspec] Re: Languages tags (Buruchaski & North Slavey)

[Denis Jacquerye]

Hi Vladimir,

Yes. If language tags for Burushaski [bsk], Krymchak [jct], Khorasani
Turkic [kmc] could be added and the name "Slavey" for the tag SLA [scs]
could be changed to "North Slavey" in the current amendment that would be
great.

Thank you.
