Names of languages need to be added in the language dropdown

The names of the following languages are missing in the dropdown while adding/editing a title on the contribution page since these names have not yet been added.

Hi @openspeaksproject -

Thanks again for requesting these new language listings, I wanted to provide an update on the issue. We are so sorry it has taken this amount of time to resolve, due to our backlog we don't have the resources to add them at this given time, for this reason we are closing this thread but know that we are still tracking the issue language request and will pick it up when we have the bandwidth to handle it.
