# Regex for recognizing RFC 4646 well-formed tags
# http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4646.txt

# The structure requires no forward references, so it reverses the order.
# It uses Java/Perl syntax instead of the old ABNF
# The uppercase comments are fragments copied from RFC 4646

# Note: the tool requires that any real "=" or "#" or ";" in the regex be escaped.

$alpha  = [a-z] ;   # ALPHA
$digit  = [0-9] ;   # DIGIT
$alphanum   = [a-z 0-9] ;   # ALPHA / DIGIT
$x  = x ;   # private use singleton
$singleton = [a-w y-z] ; # other singleton
$s  = [-_] ; # separator -- lenient parsers will use [-_] -- strict will use [-]

# Now do the components. The structure is slightly different to allow for capturing the right components.
# The notation (?:....) is a non-capturing version of (...): so the "?:" can be deleted if someone doesn't care about capturing.

$language   = $alpha{2,8} ;   # ABNF (2*3ALPHA) / 4ALPHA / 5*8ALPHA  --- note: because of how | works in regex, don't use $alpha{2,3} | $alpha{4,8} 

$script = $alpha{4} ;   # 4ALPHA 

$region = $alpha{2} | $digit{3} ;    # 2ALPHA / 3DIGIT

$variant    = (?: $alphanum{5,8} | $digit $alphanum{3} ) ;  # 5*8alphanum / (DIGIT 3alphanum)

$extension  = $singleton (?: $s $alphanum{2,8} )+ ; # singleton 1*("-" (2*8alphanum))

$privateUse = $x (?: $s $alphanum{1,8} )+ ; # "x" 1*("-" (1*8alphanum))

# Define certain grandfathered codes, since otherwise the regex is pretty useless.
# Since these are limited, this is safe even later changes to the registry --
# the only oddity is that it might change the type of the tag, and thus
# the results from the capturing groups.

# Note that these have to be compared case insensitively, requiring (?i) below.
