I think that's wrong -- there are very few exceptions, and those are
_exceptions_ -- not single languages, but "groups".  It's a _good_ thing
if they stand out, because indeed they are slightly weird.

I have no idea what "manju" is, but "african", "arab", and "cyrillic"
(and of course "other") seem ill-defined compared to the rest (unless of
course "arab" really means "arabic", in which case "ar" could be used).
Making them stand out is a useful property, not a flaw.

Here's the list:

        african
        arab
        bg
        bo
        cs-sk
        cyrillic
        da
        de
        el
        en
        en-gb
        es
        fi
        fr
        he
        hr

living tissue of the city.  Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable;
moving and parked, it devours urban land, leaving the buildings as mere islands
of habitable space in a sea of dangerous and ugly traffic.
