Comment (by pulkomandy):
The data comes from ICU, we just list all the locales and try to build a
hierarchical list out of them. The first empty entry is likely missing
translation of the language, the others are alternative scripts
(cyrillic/latin or so) for the same language, and some special cases such
as Esperanto, which has no country. It's not easy to filter them all
properly.
A way to improve this is to update to a later version of ICU or CLDR.
(CLDR is the locale information used by ICU, it can be updated without
changing the lib). The CLDR can be updated separately from the ICU code to
avoid too many changes.
