A <dfn>language tag</dfn> is a <a>string</a> that matches the

production of a `Language-Tag` defined in the [[BCP47]]

specifications (see the <a href=

"https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry">IANA
564-
Language Subtag Registry</a> for an authoritative list of possible

566-
<dfn>subtags</dfn> that are delimited by a U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS ("-").

For example, the '`en-AU`' language range represents English as

569-
Canada. Language tags that meet the validity criteria of [[RFC5646]]

section 2.2.9 that can be verified without reference to the IANA
