Data culled from the IANA subtags registry (2008-11-25) appears in italics.
A “suppress-script” is a language's default script, and should not be indicated. For example, English should be indicated as simply lang="en", not lang="en-Latn".
An “explicit script” is a case where a language is written in more than one script, and it should be indicated (“redundant” script tags, in IANA). For example, Serbian is written in both the Roman and Cyrillic alphabets, so the script should always be indicated explicitly to avoid ambiguity, as sr-Latn or sr-Cyrl. (Only script subtags are listed in the table, for IANA's registered regions and variants, see below.)
