Bug #: 34760
Summary: CLDR doesn't support fallback/base language files

Version: any

OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: CLDR

Spun off form bug 34219
It would seem for cases like PT, there is a base language file, and then some
variant (is that the right word?) overrides for PT itself, and for pt-br
Not using the base pt.xml means that the Language name list for Portuguese is
very sparse in it's entries, as it only contains the "overrides", not including
the base data
It wouldn't surprise me if this is also the case for other languages
