There used to be a test server which would render any language tag on the
fly, but it seems to be down http://mlm.jochentopf.com

I did some experiments with doing attempting something similiar:

<http://openstreetmap.in/demo/>and documented here:

The process for ^ now is much simpler thanks to some improvements in the
Mapbox GL libraries, the only big blocker is that GL still does not support
complex text shaping which breaks the proper rendering of Indic languages
