IBM Plex covers over 100 languages with extended Latin versions.

I suggest to remove the last part and simply state: “IBM Plex covers over 100 languages.”
The support for more than 100 languages is not only due to extended Latin.

These cover the typographic needs for executing communications and other typographic situations across the international community. All four sub-families are covered in the extended Latin which includes Vietnamese.

I suggest to rephrase the last sentence to “All four sub-families offer an extended Latin character set that supports – among others – all modern European languages, Turkish, and Vietnamese.”

In addition Plex covers a growing set of non-Latin scripts which currently include Arabic, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Greek, Hebrew, Korean and Thai.

I suggest to replace “non-Latin” with “other” since the term non-Latin is regarded as western centric.
And “Japanese” can be added to this list as well.

Thanks @BoldMonday, I think I applied all the changes you requested. How's it looking?
