provide: language fallbacks. For example, `nan-hani` on Wikidata only falls 
back to `en`, not to `nan` (or `cdo`, `zh-hant`, `zh`, `zh-hans`). IMHO this 
might be worth tackling as part of this task (e.g., if we end up adding some 
place in the Wikibase config where autonyms of non-MediaWiki languages can be 
defined, perhaps that place should also support defining language fallbacks for 
them).
  
  The (probably long term) solution is to complete the step 7 of T190129: 
Consolidate language metadata into a 'language-data' library and use in 
MediaWiki <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T190129>.
