Hi man, adorable work, but you need to add dialects, such as en-US, en-GB, en-AU, etc ^_^
Let me know if you update your file. I've added the following in my own copy ...

  {
    "code": "en-US",
    "name": "English United States",
    "native": "English United Stated"
  },
  {
    "code": "en-GB",
    "name": "English Great Britain",
    "native": "English Great Britain"
  },
  {
    "code": "en-AU",
    "name": "English Australian",
    "native": "English Australian"
  }

Notice, also Spanish, Portuguese, etc has overrides for locale versions, such as Brazil, Mexico, etc ...

@polterguy I think you’re after a language-region locales list. This is a JSON list of 639-1 codes (official list). If you’re interested in encompassing dialects specifically have a look at 639-2 or 639-3 (extends 639-2 with an aim to cover all known natural languages).

N.B. “adorable” in this context might be considered offensive for native English speakers. 😊

The only thing I really added was en-US, en-GB and en-AU, but here you go ...

@polterguy

{ "code": "en-US", "name": "English United States", "native": "English United Stated" },

Should be:

{ "code": "en-US", "name": "English United States", "native": "English United States" },

"States" is part of a noun. It would only change to "Stated" if it was a verb.

CharlVS commented Jan 12, 2022

Also, EN-ZA (and probably many other) locales are missing.

But as @joshuabaker mentioned, that's not the purpose of this repo.

We azerbaijanis do not use arabic alphabet or has nothing to do with arabic language. So correct version for "native" property should be only "Azərbaycanca"

{ "code": "az", "name": "Azerbaijani", "native": "Azərbaycanca / آذربايجان" }

Thanks, @shahsuvarli. After some research to confirm, I’ve made that suggested change. I appreciate your sharing that feedback.

Out of curiosity, in your opinion, should the cyrillic representation be included as a slash (i.e. Azərbaycanca / Азәрбајҹан)?

@shahsuvarli
Copy link

You are very welcome @joshuabaker.

No, you do not need to add anything else. We used to use cyrillic alphabet until the collapse of USSR. Now we only use latin alphabet and the only official/nonofficial language is Azerbaijani ("Azərbaycanca" means "azerbaijani" in azerbaijani)
