Yes, but only ISO 639 though, which is not enough.

Baaaaaaaaad.
Once again, please see the links I posted to Mark Davis' BCP 47 discussion:
http://icu-project.org/repos/icu/icuhtml/trunk/design/language_code_issues.html
OSM should really implement BCP 47, not only one ISO tag, and than do
kludges with non-standard arbitrary tags like until now.
So you'd have support for sr-Cyrl, sr-Latn, zh-Hant, zh-Hans, etc.
OSM should then have transliteration rules from one script to the
other for each language.
Mappers shouldn't input this data multiple times, it should be generated.
It's great news the grant is there, as it's a good opportunity to
something about OSM i18n.
