Thanks for the explanation.

It is no problem to create a couple of language dependent feature sets (so 
called language specifics) where we map for instance the diaeresis glyphs 
onto umlaut or other ones; same for aring.

something like:

\let\adiaerisis\aumlaut

depending on the language.

We need to do this for your languages as well as german and/or others.

At the same time (to pick up an old idea) we can make a manual which 
explains such language specific typographic features (also think of spacing 
issues).

For that i need decent (non offending) pieces of text for testing and 
demonstrating things.

How about that?
