I simply didn't understand what you were asking (I actually told that
right at the beginning of my response).  I thought you were asking
about script-specific sorting, and that is what I responded to.

But you in fact asked about language-specific sorting that goes beyond
script.  Emacs doesn't currently support any language-specific
features (not just sorting, _any_ features), unless they happen to
coincide with script-specific features.  Adding such language-specific
features should probably be part of the agenda for the Unicode based
Emacs (a.k.a. Emacs 23), and I expect it to be a lot of work.
