During USSR time there was lot of scripts done on Cyrillic
alphabet base with different extensions. See :

For example, Komi-zyrian (~1.5 mln. peoples) could be written
only in UTF-8. There is no 8-bit charset for this language.
Unfortunately, most of these languages have no "Language/
Country Tags" (ISO-639 and ISO-3166) and can't be defined
in MIME (Content-Language: ), HTTP, SGML / HTML 4.0
<HTML LANG="xx"> and POSIX Locale (export LANG=xx_YY).
