coding-system: list of coding systems specific to the langauge.

tutorial: a tutorial file name written in the language.

sample-text: one line short text containing characters of the language.

documentation: t or a string describing how Emacs supports the language.

      of the language by the command `describe-language-environment'.

setup-function: a function to call for setting up environment

If KEY is documentation or setup-function, you can also specify
a cons cell as INFO, in which case, the car part should be
a normal value as INFO for KEY (as described above),
and the cdr part should be a symbol whose value is a menu keymap
in which an entry for the language is defined.  But, only the car part
is actually set as the information.
