Here are more consolidated answers to the discussion generated by
the original question from Calvin Clark (ckclark@mit.edu):

     Does anyone know where I can get a current list of the languages
     covered by ISO Latin 1-9, and which character sets go with
     which languages?  Ideally, I would also like to know the table
     coverage of each language, i.e., which characters are used.

The ftp site you are looking for is the following:

RAREdoc.rare.nl

where you can find the document
"Characters and character sets for various languages"

as document:

archive/wg-char/div/languages

the document (author: Harald Alvestrand) lists reqiured characters PER LANGUAGE
with their names from ISO 8859 (1-9)

p.s you can find in the WG-CHAR archive other interesting documents in the
Ch.Sets world.

More info on the Harald Alvestrand draft: It is available in

I believe he has done further work on it since this draft.

'Software Internationalization and Localization,' Uhren, Howard,
and Perinotti, published Van Nostrand Reinhold, Fall 1993 does have the
ISO 8859 1-9 (but not 10!) tables in an appendix.  It doesn't list the
languages for Latin5 (8859-9) but they are Western European languages and
Turkish.  ISBN 0-442-01498-8.
