  What exactly would you do with this information? i.e. what's the actual use 
case that makes you file this request?
  
  A potential blocker to this is the same as for T74153 
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T74153> (under its original title, 
"meta=siteinfo should allow client to identify RTL languages"): actually 
collecting the fallbacks for //all// languages looks like it would require 
loading the language data for all languages, which seems likely to be 
prohibitive from a performance perspective.

expose the supported languages).
  
  Personally I don't think this would fit very well there, but I'll leave it to 
the Wikibase team to make the call on that point.
