Yes but what are their codes? (Language code for Kurdish(Sorani))
for example:
English (EN)
Arabic (AR)
what about Kurdish (Sorani)?

These are the new 24 languages[1].

In that post there is a research paper[2] where you can see the codes it begins on page 57.

Currently the documentation it is in an internal Work in Progress with no launch date yet.
