--- Comment #19 from ⁨خالد حسني⁩ <[email protected]> ---
I’m repurposing this issue for fixing the need to duplicate hunspell Arabic
dictionaries. For other languages, please open bug reports with specific
details.

The fact that many languages require having many sub locales is not something
we can easily change. In some situations the country code is irrelevant (e.g.
spell checking in the case of Arabic) and in some situations it is relevant
(currency, number formatting, etc). We have only one kind of language setting,
that is used for spell checking, hyphenation, and many other situations, so we
can’t simply merge all locales of a given language together because it will fix
some issues but break others. There is also compatibility issue with formats
that don’t offer country-less locales.

There is no general way to handle this (what works for  a specific locale does
not necessarily work for others), so it needs to be spec’d in full detail
before any code is written.
