 This might prove a task of epic proportions. Ethnologue is trying, for
 years, and it's still not completely accurate, despite the thousands of
 entries. I understand the engineering drive to normalize this stuff, but
 suspect that there are simply too many shades and nuances (not to mention
 the fact that it's constantly changing) for a usable, discrete
 classification. I'm not even sure it's desirable.
