--- Comment #10 from Paul Flo Williams <paul at frixxon.co.uk> ---
For the specific example given, of Xhosa, the correct orthography does appear
to be just the Latin alphabet. That is the information from this page:

http://www.panafril10n.org/index.php/PanAfrLoc/Xhosa

which gives an (incomplete) citation to the definitive source, which is "Xhosa:
Terminologie en Spelreëls No. 3 / Terminology and Orthography No. 3" by Ernest
Mdala, published by the South African government in 1972.

So, on the face of it, this is not a fontpackages or a fontconfig bug. If any
problems with lang provides are found, I'd suggest they should be raised
against fontconfig.
