-   A language tag identifies a natural language spoken, written, or
-   otherwise conveyed by human beings for communication of information
-   to other human beings. Computer languages are explicitly excluded.
-   HTTP uses language tags within the Accept-Language and Content-Language
-   fields.

-   The syntax and registry of HTTP language tags is the same as that
-   defined by <xref target="RFC1766"/>. In summary, a language tag is composed of 1
-   or more parts: A primary language tag and a possibly empty series of
-   subtags:

    White space is not allowed within the tag and all tags are case-insensitive.
-   The name space of language tags is administered by the

-</artwork></figure>
-<t>
-   where any two-letter primary-tag is an ISO-639 language abbreviation
-   and any two-letter initial subtag is an ISO-3166 country code. (The
-   last three tags above are not registered tags; all but the last are
-   examples of tags which could be registered in future.)
