Omitting part of languages might cause some Emacs users to think that we consider their languages insignificant. OTOH, adding more languages = more loyal Emacs users. I mean the following reasoning of a novice looking at the HELLO file: "Emacs supports my language - good! I'll use it." If it is difficult to verify a group of scripts, we could group languages by Unicode script names ordered by Unicode ranges like in http://www.unicode.org/charts/ You can use language-script mapping in http://www.unicode.org/cldr/data/charts/supplemental/languages_and_scripts.html -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
