No, we do show scripts, not languages.  There are many more languages
than scripts, so if we'd base that file on languages, we'd need to
make it much larger, and that is not economical.

However, many scripts are used with only one language, and frequently
have the same name.  That is why it may seem that HELLO shows
languages.  But that's a mistake.
