Thank you!
This list helped me a lot!
But there is a problem with the Hebrew language code, it should be "iw" and not "he"
And no need to write in the name of the language "(modern)"

Thanks for the feedback! But seems like "HE" is most common.

I got the language code "iw" when I checked the language code on a device that is in Hebrew (on Android)

I found an explanation for this problem: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8202428

The solution is to add "iw" to the list (without deleting "he")
