            define automatic transliterators for them, e.g. "en-dsrt" or
            "fr-brai" for French transliteration in Braille), and country variants,
            (useful in localized data, even if they are no longer used for
            translations, such as zh-cn, also useful for legacy codes).

            (even if they are considered valid in BCP 47, in which they are
            case-insensitive; they are not "SupportedLanguages" for MediaWiki, so
            they are not "KnownLanguageTags" for MediaWiki).
            To be more restrictive, we exclude any character
            * that is not ASCII and not a lowercase letter, minus-hyphen, or digit,
              or does not start by a letter or does not finish by a letter or digit;
