Language is a written human language.

Languages are identified by tags defined by RFC 5646.

Typically language tags are a 2 character language code (ISO 639-1) optionally followed by a dash and a 2 character country code (ISO 3166-1). (e.g. en, pt-BR)

A Language implements CLDR plural rules as defined here: http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/language_plural_rules.html http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-numbers.html#Operands
