What is the list of supported languages/locales on Android? [closed]

Question

I'd like to know what to name my folder for different languages. Where can I find the supported list of languages on Android?

Can you move the answer to your question to an answer to this post, and mark it as the selected answer? For others who have the same question, it will help for them to be able to see that there's a selected answer :) (BTW, it's totally fine to answer your own question). — Alexander Lucas
Yes, please edit this so you are asking a question in the question area like "What locales does Andriod support, and from what version did it support them? Does a list exist?", then provide the information as an answer. This would probably be handy to link to in the Tag Wiki. I'm making this CW so others can help turn it into a proper question, thanks for sharing :) — Tim Post♦
If you installed the Extras in Android SDK Manager, then after installation, go to the \android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat\res directory to see a list of locale [directories] supported by Android. Also, check this link. — ChuongPham
Define "support". You can use all three-letter language codes without problem (although there may be no interface by which to select that language). I've developed apps in Asturian (code ast) and there's no problem as of Android 5ish. Only some distributions let users select it, so I have a option in settings to always launch in X language which includes all my supported locales. — user0721090601
Here's the answer to the "how to name" part of the question from the Configuration qualifier names table: "The language is defined by a two-letter ISO 639-1 language code, optionally followed by a two letter ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 region code (preceded by lowercase 'r')." — User5910

Original Answer :

As of Android 5.0, all languages in BCP 47 are available for application development (they may not necessarily be available for selection in a given device's system settings, though). When using ISO 639-1 codes, the resource folder has the format values-xx... where xx is the ISO-639-1 code.

When using BCP 47 tags, the resource folder is named values-b+xxx... where xxx is the three-letter language code.

*Note that Java uses several deprecated two-letter codes. The Hebrew (“he”) >language code is rewritten as “iw”, Indonesian (“id”) as “in”, and Yiddish (“yi”) as “ji”. This rewriting happens even if you construct your own Locale object, not just for instances returned by the various lookup methods. See also https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36908826.
