I guess you would have problems with distinguishing between Danish and 
Norwegian, or between various Slavic languages... But with the help of 
the attribute ReleaseLanguage, for the purposes of MB, you don't have to.

Also, see http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ModeratorLanguage.

The new Picard just recently appeared for Debian, so I am happy to 
report that the ReleaseCountry appears in the tags encoded according to 
ISO-639-1.

The ReleaseLanguage I cannot find.

(And I don't know of any players who are yet able to use information on 
country/language. Spontaneously, I don't think this would be a killer 
feature :)
