ISO 639-1 (2-letter) codes for Latin locales that don't require advanced Unicode support.

It's just a JSON file, so you can use it in any environment.

pip install latin-locales

import latin_locales

print(latin_locales)
# => ['aa', 'ae', 'af', 'ak', 'an', 'ay', 'bi', 'bm', 'br', ...]

Note: Most type checkers will falsely warn latin_locales is not iterable because they are incapable of analyzing runtime behavior (where the module is replaced w/ a list for cleaner, direct access). You can safely suppress such warnings using # type: ignore.
