I'm a bit concerned about using icu, but really just as a gut
reaction, I haven't read the code or researched it much.

It looks like a huge set of libraries, which might be overkill for the
use case of listing languages (did we check if/how much it increases
memory usage?). It seems to partially overlap glib. It doesn't seem to
be used by GNOME for the same functionality which is a bit suspect and
might mean it's not very tested (maybe it's used by qt though?).

Did you consider using the same code as the GNOME control panel?

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/tree/libgnome-desktop/gnome-languages.c

It seems to be pretty self-contained so it could be cut and pasted. Or
we could use the library directly.

Just an idea.
