Until mid September I am in vacation mode. Later in September I could take care of this task.

@Raymond Any update on this?

My bad, I have overseen it :-(

@Lucas_Werkmeister_WMDE: Because you are working on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/cldr/+/1054902 would it be possible to add above language codes in your patch or would you prefer that I submit a separate patch?

I would add it as a separate change on top of that one (so it already benefits from the PHPUnit test I added).

Change #1224628 had a related patch set uploaded (by Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE); author: Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)):

Ok. But it was not my idea to send you more work. Anyway thank you for the new patch.

Well, I was hoping to use this as a kind of soft leverage to get my LanguageNamesEn change merged, by making it a dependency of this new change ;) (of course, the Eastern Iranian languages change can still be rebased away from it and merged independently.)
