Actually, Romani (ISO 639-2 "rom") is a family of languages, with just Vlax Romani ("rmy" in ISO 639-3 beta) being the most wellknown with an important written litterature, using the Latin script in Europe or the Devanagari script in India, and probably other scripts like Arabic and Cyrillic, depending on locations where the language would have evolved as distinct variants.
How would the CLDR handle language familes like this? Are there fallback mechanisms that allow "rmy" to fallback to "rom" resources?
