iPhone's other languages list from CLDR?

Wed Dec 30 13:42:00 CST 2015

Thank you Shervin and Steven for these responses.

Steven, This list with notes is especially helpful - am still digesting. 
Will compare in more detail with the iPhone list. That exercise would be 
more rewarding in a cross-operating system comparison - if there were a 
clear list of what's on Android.

Also hoping for more info from someone at Apple who is well-placed to 
discuss their approach.

Best wishes for the New Year 2016!

Don
