Yes, one repo I was thinking about has only ancient Greek: Deutche
Bibelgesellschaft

Yes, I think we use grc for ancient Greek.

Yes, we include a language list in our locales installed with SWORD.  It
is a pseudo-locale called "locales" and has a pretty exhaustive list of
locale codes with their native language name, along with their English
names.

So, for example, you can make calls like:

std::cout << LocaleMgr::getSystemLocaleMgr()->translate("locales", "grc")

  << " (" << LocaleMgr::getSystemLocaleMgr()->translate("locales",
"grc.en") << ")";  // should output Ἑλληνική (Ancient Greek (to 1453))

A good test tool is sword/tests/localetest:

./localetest locales grc

Yes, exactly: Direction=RtoL


Hope this is helpful,
