iPhone's other languages list from CLDR?

[Shervin Afshar]

Hello,

Those are names of languages available as part of data for CLDR-supported
locales. The mere fact that CLDR has this data doesn't necessarily mean
that that language is a CLDR locale; i.e. having all sort of other
information (date/time format, numbers, etc.) beyond these names. Here is
the language name for Hausa as appearing in data file for German:

http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/browser/trunk/common/main/de.xml#L228

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Shervin
