Yes, for other languages this is handled by Babel, and I didn't mean it 
should be included in Fontspec. I was only wondering how font and 
hyphenation selection could be associated.

With plain XeTeX I would write something like:

\font\dev="Sanskrit 2003:script=deva" at 14pt
% text in French
\language=\sanskrit
{\dev
% text in Sanskrit
}

With LaTeX (before Fontspec existed) I used a "\newcommand" to combine 
font selection and "\language=\sankrit".

Kind regards,
