If your language doesn’t provide an explicit script (like the language code `az` for instance) an implicit language is chosen for you: `Latin` in Azerbaijani’s case. If you’d rather use another script you can build a language with the correct script. The default language is the official or most important script for a language or for a language/country compound.

However, even if using a hyphen (or dash) is better, some software use underscores (`en_GB`), so you can choose to use dashed language tags in your project settings.
