What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Google Noto Fonts page. (http://www.google.com/get/noto/)
2. Click Japan in the map.
3. Ainu is not listed in the list but Central Okinawan, Japanese and Korean are.

4. Click Noto Sans Japanese in the list of fonts. 
(http://www.google.com/get/noto/#/family/noto-sans-jpan)
5. Ainu is not listed in the list of language coverage but Central Okinawan and 
Japanese are.

What is the expected output?
Ainu (Katakana script) should be listed in the map and the language coverage of 
Noto Sans Japanese.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The web site

Please provide any additional information below.
There are Ainu Kana (アイヌ語仮名), katakana especially used for the Ainu 
language. To specify coverage with Ainu Kana would be valuable.

Thanks a lot for the report. I will make sure the next update of the web site 
mentions Ainu.

We are not mentioning that Noto Sans CJK JP covers Ainu, but we are still not 
listing Ainu as one of the languages of Japan.

According to Ethnologue, there were 10 speakers as of 2007, so perhaps not 
worth the trouble of listing it for Japan. You can search for the language, and 
the website tells you it's supported by Noto Sans Japanese. Closing as WontFix.

But if you can get Ainu listed for Japan in the CLDR project 
(http://cldr.unicode.org/index/bug-reports), we will automatically get it in 
our next pull after that happens.
