Hello,
I am a developer of Berber origin who notes that his language is not
listed in the "localization community directory". To my knowledge,
there is no variation on the list.

But as stated in the note "Tags for Identifying Languages" located in
the following page: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt, it seems that
a specification is required. If I rely on the note I can easily
deduce, in my case:
- MZG-Latn: Written using Latin script Tamazight (Tamazight is the
original name of the Berber language)
- MZG-Tfng: Written using Tifinagh Tamazight script.

We may, in the near future, specify the country in this way:

# In Tifinagh:

- MZG-Tfng-dz: Tamazight written in Tifinagh (countries: Algeria)
- MZG-Tfng-ma: Tamazight written in Tifinagh (country: Morocco)
- MZG-Tfng-ly: Tamazight written in Tifinagh (country: Libyan)
- ...
Same in Latin:

- MZG-Latn-dz: Tamazight written in Latin (countries: Algeria)
- MZG-Latn-ma: Tamazight written in Latin (country: Morocco)
- MZG-Latn-ly: Tamazight written in Latin (country: Libyan)
- ...
For more information:

- Tamazight: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berbère (French)
- Tifinagh (fr): http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tifinagh (French)
- Tifinagh (en): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tifinagh (English)

In my case I want to develop a version of firefox in Tamazight with
two scripts: Latin and Tifinagh.

Cordially.
