Summary:                    Language handling for numbers, dates, etc is
misbehaving when utilizing sub-regional languages
Description: 
Per a discussion at Asterisk Euro DevCon, an issue was raised when a
language is defined as "language_variant" format, for example, "fr_ca"
(Candian French). 

According to KPF and russelb, Asterisk is supposed to play files from the
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/[LANG_DIRECTORY] and
/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/digits/[LANG_DIRECTORY], while at the same time,
while playing the numbers, utilizing the logic intended for the "language"
identified. However, after testing the edge case, we've discovered that
Asterisk will default to the English grammer, thus, playing the entire
grammer wrong.

See my first note. The actual sound files are not really required to
demonstrate the issue. So this is really a technical matter.

First thing to decide is whether this actually needs changing. Given that
"en" and "en_GB" are actually two different "languages" today.
