Summary:                    [patch] 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.

tzafrir:  Oh, there are lots of other cases.  Probably the worst of them
are es_XX, where XX is a dialect of Spanish in each of their former
colonies, whose languages have strayed in completely different ways over
the centuries.
