+// *   Category of a language:
+// *
+// *   *   `'living'`
+// *       — currently spoken language
+// *       (example: `nhi` for `Zacatlán-Ahuacatlán-Tepetzintla Nahuatl`)
+// *   *   `'historical'`
+// *       — extinct language distinct from modern languages that descended from it
+// *       (example: `ofs` for `Old Frisian`)
+// *   *   `'extinct'`
+// *       — language that went extinct recently
+// *       (example: `rbp` for `Barababaraba`)
+// *   *   `'ancient'`
+// *       — language that went extinct long ago
+// *       (example: `got` for `Gothic`)
+// *   *   `'constructed'`
+// *       — artificial languages, excluding programming languages
+// *       (example: `epo` for `Esperanto`)
+// *   *   `'special'`
+// *       — non-language codes
+// *       (example: `und` for `Undetermined`)
+// *
+// *   Scope of a language:
+// *
+// *   *   `'individual'`
+// *       — normal, single language
+// *       (example: `eng` for `English`)
+// *   *   `'macrolanguage'`
+// *       — one-to-many grouping of languages, because older ISO 639s included them
+// *       (example: `ara` for `Arabic`)
+// *   *   `'special'`
+// *       — non-language codes
