CSS font-language-override Property
The font-language-override property controls the use of the language-specific glyphs. This property can be specified by two values: normal and <string>. The "string" must match a language tag. For example, "TRK" for Turkish.
By default, the HTML lang attribute instructs the browser to display glyphs that are designed for a certain language.
The font-language-override property overrides the typeface behavior for a specific language. It's helpful because when the typeface does not have proper rules in one language, you can use glyphs of another language that follow similar rules.

| Inherited | Yes. |
