Column | Comment

Language | Where there isn't any information in Unicode CLDR as to which languages are written in a given script, the language code is given as Unknown or Invalid Language ("und").
ML | The modern language column shows "O" if the language is not in customary modern use (currently following ISO 639-3 Types: Ancient, Extinct, Historical, or Constructed).
P | The Primary column shows "N" if the language combination is neither an official nor a defacto-official language of some country. For more information, see Language-Territory Information.
Script | Where there isn't any information in Unicode CLDR as to which script is used by a language, the script code is given as Unknown or Invalid Script ("Zzzz").
