Documentation
Alist of locale regexps vs the corresponding languages and coding systems.
Each element has this form:
(LOCALE-REGEXP LANG-ENV CODING-SYSTEM)
The first element whose LOCALE-REGEXP matches the start of a
downcased locale specifies the LANG-ENV (language environment)
and CODING-SYSTEM corresponding to that locale. If there is no
appropriate language environment, the element may have this form:
(LOCALE-REGEXP . LANG-ENV)
In this case, LANG-ENV is one of generic language environments for an
specific encoding such as "Latin-1" and "UTF-8".
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
Source Code
;; Defined in /usr/src/emacs/lisp/international/mule-cmds.el.gz
(defconst locale-language-names
'(
;; Locale names of the form LANGUAGE[_TERRITORY][.CODESET][@MODIFIER]
;; as specified in the Single Unix Spec, Version 2.
;; LANGUAGE is a language code taken from ISO 639:1988 (E/F)
;; with additions from ISO 639/RA Newsletter No.1/1989;
;; see Internet RFC 2165 (1997-06) and
;; https://www.evertype.com/standards/iso639/iso639-en.html
;; TERRITORY is a country code taken from ISO 3166
;; http://www.din.de/gremien/nas/nabd/iso3166ma/codlstp1/en_listp1.html.
;; CODESET and MODIFIER are implementation-dependent.
;; Language names for which there are no locales (yet) are
;; commented out.
;; jasonr comments: MS Windows uses three letter codes for
;; languages instead of the two letter ISO codes that POSIX
;; uses. In most cases the first two letters are the same, so
;; most of the regexps in locale-language-names work. Japanese,
;; Chinese, and some others are exceptions, which are listed in the
;; non-standard section at the bottom of locale-language-names, or
;; in the main section, if otherwise we would pick up the wrong
;; entry (because the first matching entry is used).
