Hoi,
The example used on the Wikidata website is for it to be used for names..
NOT a good idea.
Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand.
My question is not whether names are written the same way in the same
alphabet. Of course sometimes they aren't.
My questions is also not whether the idea of fallback by script is good.
It is to be discussed in Wikidata discussion pages.
My questions is whether a code like mul-latn is valid. Is it standard to
use "mul", which is a somewhat special code with a script code? The codes
sr-latn and sr-cyrl are clearly valid, but sr is a usual language code,
whereas mul is a bit different. So can mul be used in such a context just
like a code for an actual language? Does anyone know for certain?

Hoi,
I do not think so. Names are in the same script not commons.. Hungarian
comes to mind. It will create a mess,.
Thanks,

Hi,
In Wikidata there was a proposal to add special fallback
pseudo-languages to make it possible to have labels that work by writing
system rather than by language:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2019/06#Multila…
The proposal was to use language codes such as mul-latn, etc.
It kind of makes sense to me, but I'd like to ask the language code
standards experts in the committee: is such usage standard?
