Yes, I will send you a revised list later today or tomorrow, the
current one is a bit improvisoric and doesn't account for some
irregularities yet.

Definitely. UK stands for Ukrainian. British should use en-GB.

We have used "en-gb" for British English. Actually, we need your
opinion here. For all the patterns except for pinjin and English (both
American and British), we have created hyph-foo.tex. The English
patterns don't need any modifications at all. Should we still rename
the file to hyph-en-gb.tex?

Please, do not try to invent yet another two-letter code for British.
Maybe you can simply add it to English, the same way as Spanish,
Czecho-Slovak, Greek and German have multiple patterns included?
