That’s a lot of types, regardless of how you define them. Is AAVE a separate “language” from “standard English”? How about Creole? Is that French, English, or a distinct language? Is Pennsylvania Dutch/“Low German” German or English? What about Yiddish? Modern Yiddish is an entirely different beast from historical Yiddish. Who is going to be defining the type for Greek? What region and point in history will they be using for a reference? Does GermanString contain Eszett? If so, is it a separate code point or interchangeable with “ss”? Is there logic that defines when “ss” should be represented as an Eszett and when it should be rendered as “ss”? No, I think Unicode is the right approach. You get all the code points you might need and logic for processing them as glyphs. Leave everything else up to the application.
