The above example is perhaps unlikely, but you could have, say:
\fontspec[Script=Tibetan,Language=Tibetan]{Code2000}
or:
\fontspec[Script=Tibetan,Language=Sanskrit]{Code2000}
The same script can be used more or less differently according to the
underlying language.

I'm not sure I understand where your doubt is, but if those tags select
a set of features for a certain language (which is the case, I hope)
then it makes sense to declare both script and language.
Best wishes (and good luck with Emacs),
Yves
P.S. Is Carbon Emacs used in Terminal? I never was able to display or
type Unicode properly in Terminal.
