This is by design. The WritingSystemSuggester class has a property, SuppressSuggestionsForMajorWorldLanguages, which the view has set to true. This is to reduce clutter on screen for buttons which will never be pushed.
However, maybe this assumption is incorrect; if you're thinking of cases where they would be be needed, lemme know. Thanks.

- Status changed from New to Rejected
I'll mark this Rejected (such a harsh word!) until Tim has a chance to think about it. Tim, you can make it "New" again, or "Close" it.

I just verified that you can do the one case I thought of... creating a latin form of a non-roman script. I added Thai, set the script to latin. Then I created thai again, so that I ended up with both thai-in-thai and thai-in-latin.
