script

​
Provides the set of ISO 15924 language scripts. The return value can be iterated as a list, or you can find a specific language by either its four-character code (alpha4), three-character numeric code (numeric3), local name, or English name.
For example:
1
local script = require("cp.i18n.script")
2
print(script[1])        -- table for "Adlam" script
3
print(script.Hani)      -- table for "Han" script (matches `alpha4`)
4
print(script["500"])    -- same table for "Han" (matches `numeric3`)
5
print(script["Han (Hanzi, Kanji, Hanja)"]) -- same table for "Han" (matches `name`)
6
print(script.Han)       -- same table for "Han" (matches `pva`).
