/**
 * A {@code Locale} represents a specific geographical, political,
 * or cultural region. An API that requires a {@code Locale} to perform
 * its task is <dfn>{@index "locale-sensitive"}</dfn> and uses the {@code Locale}
 * to tailor information for the user. These <em>locale-sensitive</em> APIs
 * are principally in the <i>java.text</i> and <i>java.util</i> packages.
 * For example, displaying a number is a <em>locale-sensitive</em> operation&mdash;
 * the number should be formatted according to the customs and conventions of the
 * user's native country, region, or culture.
 *
 * <p>The {@code Locale} class implements
 * <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp47">IETF BCP 47</a> which contains
 * <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc4647">RFC 4647 "Matching of Language
 * Tags"</a> and <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5646">RFC 5646 "Tags
 * for Identifying Languages"</a> with support for the LDML (UTS#35, "Unicode
 * Locale Data Markup Language") BCP 47-compatible extensions for locale data
 * exchange. Each {@code Locale} is associated with locale data which is provided
 * by the Java runtime environment or any deployed {@link
 * java.util.spi.LocaleServiceProvider LocaleServiceProvider} implementations.
 * The locale data provided by the Java runtime environment may vary by release.
 *
 * <h2 id="loc_comp">Locale Composition</h2>
 * <p> A {@code Locale} is composed of the bolded fields described below; note that a
 * {@code Locale} need not have all such fields. For example, {@link
 * Locale#ENGLISH Locale.ENGLISH} is only comprised of the <em>language</em> field.
 * In contrast, a {@code Locale} such as the one returned by {@code
 * Locale.forLanguageTag("en-Latn-US-POSIX-u-nu-latn")} would be comprised of all
 * the fields below. This particular {@code Locale} would represent English in
 * the United States using the Latin script and numerics for use in POSIX
 * environments.
 * <p>
 * {@code Locale} implements IETF BCP 47 and any deviations should be observed
 * by the comments prefixed by <em>"BCP 47 deviation:"</em>.
 * <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc5646">RFC 5646</a>
 * combines subtags from various ISO (639, 3166, 15924) standards which are also
 * included in the composition of {@code Locale}.
 * Additionally, the full list of valid codes for each field can be found in the
 * <a href="https://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry">
 * IANA Language Subtag Registry</a> (e.g. search for "Type: region").

 *   <dd> ISO 639 alpha-2/alpha-3 language code or a registered
 *   language subtag up to 8 alpha letters (for future enhancements).
 *   When a language has both an alpha-2 code and an alpha-3 code, the

 *   subtag. This is because three-letter language codes are preferred over extlang
 *   subtags. When a {@code Locale} is created from a language tag containing an
 *   extlang subtag, the first extlang subtag is interpreted as the <i>language</i>
 *   field. The primary language subtag and any subsequent extlang subtags

 *   historically been used for any kind of variation, not just
 *   language variations.  For example, some supported variants
 *   available in Java SE Runtime Environments indicate alternative
 *   cultural behaviors such as calendar type or number script.  In
 *   BCP 47, this kind of information which does not identify the
 *   language, is supported by extension subtags or private use

 *
 *   <dd> <em>Syntax:</em> Well-formed keys are single characters from the set
 *   {@code [0-9a-zA-Z]}.  Well-formed values have the form

 *   {@code SUBTAG = [0-9a-zA-Z]{1,8}} and for other keys

 *   key="x"/value="java-1-7"</dd>
 * </dl>
 *
 * <b>BCP 47 deviation:</b> BCP47 defines the following two levels of
 * <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5646#section-2.2.9">conformance</a>,
 * "valid" and "well-formed". A valid tag requires that it is well-formed, its
 * subtag values are registered in the IANA Language Subtag Registry, and it does not
 * contain duplicate variant or extension singleton subtags. The {@code Locale}
 * class does not enforce that subtags are registered in the Subtag Registry.
 * {@link Builder} only checks if an individual field satisfies the syntactic
 * requirement (is well-formed). When passed duplicate variants, {@code Builder}
 * accepts and includes them. When passed duplicate extension singletons, {@code
 * Builder} accepts but ignores the duplicate key and its associated value.
 * Conversely, {@link #of(String, String, String) Locale::of} and its
 * overloads do not check if the input is well-formed at all.
 *
 * <h3><a id="def_locale_extension">Unicode BCP 47 U Extension</a></h3>
 *
 * <p>UTS#35, "Unicode Locale Data Markup Language" defines the
 * <a href="https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/#u_Extension">Unicode BCP 47 U Extension</a>,
 * an extension based on <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc6067">RFC 6067</a>,
 * which describes optional attributes and keywords to override or refine the default behavior
 * associated with a locale.  A keyword is represented by a pair of
 * key and type.  For example, "nu-thai" indicates that Thai local
 * digits (value:"thai") should be used for formatting numbers
 * (key:"nu").
 *
 * <p>The keywords are mapped to a BCP 47 extension value using the
 * extension key 'u' ({@link #UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION}).  The above
 * example, "nu-thai", becomes the extension "u-nu-thai".
 *
 * <p>Thus, when a {@code Locale} object contains Unicode locale
 * attributes and keywords,
 * {@code getExtension(UNICODE_LOCALE_EXTENSION)} will return a
 * String representing this information, for example, "nu-thai".  The
 * {@code Locale} class also provides {@link
 * #getUnicodeLocaleAttributes}, {@link #getUnicodeLocaleKeys}, and
 * {@link #getUnicodeLocaleType(String)} which provides access to the Unicode
 * locale attributes and key/type pairs directly.  When represented as
 * a string, the Unicode Locale Extension lists attributes
 * alphabetically, followed by key/type sequences with keys listed
 * alphabetically (the order of subtags comprising a key's type is
 * fixed when the type is defined)
 *
 * <p>A well-formed locale key has the form
 * {@code [0-9a-zA-Z]{2}}.  A well-formed locale type has the
 * form {@code "" | [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8} ('-' [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8})*} (it
 * can be empty, or a series of subtags 3-8 alphanums in length).  A
 * well-formed locale attribute has the form
 * {@code [0-9a-zA-Z]{3,8}} (it is a single subtag with the same
 * form as a locale type subtag). Duplicate locale attributes as well
 * as locale keys do not convey meaning. For methods in {@code Locale} and
 * {@code Locale.Builder} that accept extensions, occurrences of duplicate
 * locale attributes as well as locale keys and their associated type are accepted
 * but ignored.
 *
 * <p>The Unicode locale extension specifies optional behavior in
 * locale-sensitive services.  Although the LDML specification defines
 * various keys and values, actual locale-sensitive service
 * implementations in a Java Runtime Environment might not support any
 * particular Unicode locale attributes or key/type pairs.
 *
 * <h2><a id="default_locale">Default Locale</a></h2>
 *
 * <p>The default Locale is provided for any <em>locale-sensitive</em> methods if no
 * {@code Locale} is explicitly specified as an argument, such as
 * {@link NumberFormat#getInstance()}. The default Locale is determined at startup
 * of the Java runtime and established in the following three phases:
 * <ol>
 * <li>The locale-related system properties listed below are established from the
 * host environment. Some system properties (except for {@code user.language}) may
 * not have values from the host environment.
 * <table class="striped">
 * <caption style="display:none">Shows property keys and associated values</caption>
 * <thead>
 * <tr><th scope="col">Locale-related System Properties Key</th>
 *     <th scope="col">Description</th></tr>
 * </thead>
 * <tbody>
 * <tr><th scope="row">{@systemProperty user.language}</th>
 *     <td>{@link ##def_language language} for the default Locale,
 *     such as "en" (English)</td></tr>
 * <tr><th scope="row">{@systemProperty user.script}</th>
 *     <td>{@link ##def_script script} for the default Locale,
 *     such as "Latn" (Latin)</td></tr>
 * <tr><th scope="row">{@systemProperty user.country}</th>
 *     <td>{@link ##def_region country} for the default Locale,
 *     such as "US" (United States)</td></tr>
 * <tr><th scope="row">{@systemProperty user.variant}</th>
 *     <td>{@link ##def_variant variant} for the default Locale,
 *     such as "POSIX"</td></tr>
 * <tr><th scope="row">{@systemProperty user.extensions}</th>
 *     <td>{@link ##def_extensions extensions} for the default Locale,
 *     such as "u-ca-japanese" (Japanese Calendar)</td></tr>
 * </tbody>
 * </table>
 * </li>
 * <li>The values of these system properties can be overridden by values designated
 * at startup time. If the overriding value of the {@code user.extensions} property
 * is unparsable, it is ignored. The overriding values of other properties are not
 * checked for syntax or validity and are used directly in the default Locale.
 * (Typically, system property values can be provided using the {@code -D} command-line
 * option of a launcher. For example, specifying {@code -Duser.extensions=foobarbaz}
 * results in a default Locale with no extensions, while specifying
 * {@code -Duser.language=foobarbaz} results in a default Locale whose language is
 * "foobarbaz".)
 * </li>
 * <li>The default {@code Locale} instance is constructed from the values of these
 * system properties.
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 * <p>Altering the system property values with {@link System#setProperties(Properties)}/
 * {@link System#setProperty(String, String)} has no effect on the default Locale.
 * <p>Once the default Locale is established, applications can query the default
 * Locale with {@link #getDefault()} and change it with {@link #setDefault(Locale)}.
 * If the default Locale is changed with {@link #setDefault(Locale)}, the corresponding
 * system properties are not altered. It is not recommended that applications read
 * these system properties and parse or interpret them as their values may be out of date.
 *
 * <h3>Locale Category</h3>
 * <p>There are finer-grained default Locales specific for each {@link Locale.Category}.
 * These category specific default Locales can be queried by {@link #getDefault(Category)},
 * and set by {@link #setDefault(Category, Locale)}. Construction of these category
 * specific default Locales are determined by the corresponding system properties,
 * which consist of the base system properties as listed above, suffixed by either
 * {@code ".display"} or {@code ".format"} depending on the category. For example,
 * the value of the {@code user.language.display} system property will be used in the
 * {@code language} part of the default Locale for the {@link Locale.Category#DISPLAY}
 * category. In the absence of category specific system properties, the "category-less"
 * system properties are used, such as {@code user.language} in the previous example.
 *
 * <h2><a id="ObtainingLocale">Obtaining a Locale</a></h2>
 *
 * <p>There are several ways to obtain a {@code Locale} object.
 * It is advised against using the deprecated {@code Locale} constructors.
 *
 * <dl>
 *  <dt><b>Locale Constants</b></dt>
 *  <dd>A number of convenient constants are provided that return {@code Locale}
 *  objects for commonly used locales. For example, {@link #US Locale.US} is the
 *  {@code Locale} object for the United States.</dd>
 *  <dt><b>Factory Methods</b></dt>
 *  <dd>{@link #of(String, String, String) Locale::of} and its overloads obtain a
 *  {@code Locale} object from the given {@code language}, {@code country},
 *  and/or {@code variant}. {@link #forLanguageTag(String)} obtains a {@code Locale}
 *  object for a well-formed BCP 47 language tag.</dd>
 *  <dt><b>Builder</b></dt>
 *  <dd>{@link Builder} is used to construct a {@code Locale} object that conforms
 *  to BCP 47 syntax. Use a builder to enforce syntactic restrictions on the input.</dd>
 * </dl>
 * <p>The following invocations produce Locale objects that are all equivalent:
 * {@snippet lang=java :
 *     Locale.US;
 *     Locale.of("en", "US");
 *     Locale.forLanguageTag("en-US");
 *     new Locale.Builder().setLanguage("en").setRegion("US").build();
 * }
 *
 * <h2>Usage Examples</h2>
 *
 * <p>Once a {@code Locale} is {@linkplain ##ObtainingLocale obtained},
 * it can be queried for information about itself. For example, use {@link
 * #getCountry} to get the country (or region) code and {@link #getLanguage} to
 * get the language. {@link #getDisplayCountry} can be used to get the
 * name of the country suitable for displaying to the user. Similarly,
 * use {@link #getDisplayLanguage()} to get the name of
 * the language suitable for displaying to the user. The {@code getDisplayXXX}
 * methods are themselves <em>locale-sensitive</em> and have two variants; one with an explicit
 * locale parameter, and one without. The latter uses the default {@link
 * Locale.Category#DISPLAY DISPLAY} locale, so the following are equivalent :
 * {@snippet lang=java :
 *     Locale.getDefault().getDisplayCountry();
 *     Locale.getDefault().getDisplayCountry(Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.DISPLAY));
 * }
 *
 * <p>The Java Platform provides a number of classes that perform locale-sensitive
 * operations. For example, the {@code NumberFormat} class formats
 * numbers, currency, and percentages in a <em>locale-sensitive</em> manner. Classes such
 * as {@code NumberFormat} have several factory methods for creating a default object
 * of that type. These methods generally have two variants; one with an explicit
 * locale parameter, and one without. The latter uses the default {@link
 * Locale.Category#FORMAT FORMAT} locale, so the following are equivalent :
 * {@snippet lang=java :
 *     NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance();
 *     NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.getDefault(Locale.Category.FORMAT));
 * }
 *
 * <p>
 * The following example demonstrates <em>locale-sensitive</em> currency and
 * date related operations under different locales :
 * {@snippet lang = java:
 *     var number = 1000;
 *     NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.US).format(number); // returns "$1,000.00"
 *     NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(Locale.JAPAN).format(number); // returns "¥1,000""
 *     var date = LocalDate.of(2024, 1, 1);
 *     DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.LONG).localizedBy(Locale.US).format(date); // returns "January 1, 2024"
 *     DateTimeFormatter.ofLocalizedDate(FormatStyle.LONG).localizedBy(Locale.JAPAN).format(date); // returns "2024年1月1日"
 * }
 *
 * <h2><a id="LocaleMatching">Locale Matching</a></h2>
 *
 * <p>If an application is internationalized and provides localized
 * resources for multiple locales, it sometimes needs to find one or more
 * locales (or language tags) which meet each user's specific preferences. Note
 * that the term "<dfn>{@index "language tag"}</dfn>" is used interchangeably
 * with "locale" in the following locale matching documentation.
 *
 * <p>In order to match a user's preferred locales to a set of language
 * tags, <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc4647">RFC 4647 Matching of
 * Language Tags</a> defines two mechanisms: filtering and lookup.
 * <em>Filtering</em> is used to get all matching locales, whereas
 * <em>lookup</em> is to select the best matching locale.
 * Matching is done case-insensitively. These matching mechanisms are described
 * in the following sections.
 *
 * <p>A user's preference is called a <em>Language Priority List</em> and is
 * expressed as a list of language ranges. There are syntactically two types of
 * language ranges: basic and extended. See
 * {@link Locale.LanguageRange Locale.LanguageRange} for details.
 *
 *
 * <h3>Filtering</h3>
 *
 * <p>The filtering operation returns all matching language tags. It is defined
 * in RFC 4647 as follows:
 * "In filtering, each language range represents the least specific language
 * tag (that is, the language tag with the fewest number of subtags) that is an
 * acceptable match. All the language tags in the matching set of tags will
 * have an equal or greater number of subtags than the language range. Every
 * non-wildcard subtag in the language range will appear in every one of the
 * matching language tags."
 *
 * <p>There are two types of filtering: filtering for basic language ranges
 * (called "basic filtering") and filtering for extended language ranges
 * (called "extended filtering"). They may return different results by what
 * kind of language ranges are included in the given Language Priority List.
 * {@link Locale.FilteringMode} is a parameter to specify how filtering should
 * be done.
 *
 * <h3>Lookup</h3>
 *
 * <p>The lookup operation returns the best matching language tags. It is
 * defined in RFC 4647 as follows:
 * "By contrast with filtering, each language range represents the most
 * specific tag that is an acceptable match.  The first matching tag found,
 * according to the user's priority, is considered the closest match and is the
 * item returned."
 *
 * <p>For example, if a Language Priority List consists of two language ranges,
 * {@code "zh-Hant-TW"} and {@code "en-US"}, in prioritized order, lookup
 * method progressively searches the language tags below in order to find the
 * best matching language tag.
 * <blockquote>
 * <pre>
 *    1. zh-Hant-TW
 *    2. zh-Hant
 *    3. zh
 *    4. en-US
 *    5. en
 * </pre>
 * </blockquote>
 * If there is a language tag which matches completely to a language range
 * above, the language tag is returned.
 *
 * <p>{@code "*"} is the special language range, and it is ignored in lookup.
 *
 * <p>If multiple language tags match as a result of the subtag {@code '*'}
 * included in a language range, the first matching language tag returned by
 * an {@link Iterator} over a {@link Collection} of language tags is treated as
 * the best matching one.
 *
 * <h3>Serialization</h3>
 *
 * <p>During serialization, writeObject writes all fields to the output
 * stream, including extensions.
 *
 * <p>During deserialization, readResolve adds extensions as described
 * in {@linkplain ##special_cases_constructor Special Cases}, only
 * for the two cases th_TH_TH and ja_JP_JP.
 *
 * @implNote
 * <h2>Compatibility</h2>
 * <p> The following commentary is provided for apps that want to ensure
 * interoperability with older releases of {@code Locale} provided by the
 * reference implementation.
 * <h3><a id="locale_behavior">Locale Behavior</a></h3>
 * In order to maintain compatibility, Locale's (deprecated) constructors,
 * {@link #of(String, String, String)}, and its overloads retain their behavior prior to the Java Runtime
 * Environment version 1.7. That is, a length constraint is not imposed on any of
 * the input parameters. Similarly, the same preservation of past behavior is largely true
 * for the {@link #toString()} method.
 * Apps that previously parsed the output of {@link #toString()} into language,
 * country, and variant fields can continue to do so (although this is strongly
 * discouraged). A caveat is that the variant field will have additional
 * information in it if script or extensions are present.
 *
 * <p>In addition, BCP 47 imposes syntax restrictions that are not
 * imposed by Locale's constructors. This means that conversions
 * between some Locales and BCP 47 language tags cannot be made without
 * losing information. Thus {@link #toLanguageTag} cannot
 * represent the state of locales whose language, country, or variant
 * do not conform to BCP 47.
 *
 * <p>Because of these issues, it is recommended that apps migrate
 * away from constructing non-conforming locales and use the
 * {@link #forLanguageTag(String)} and {@link Locale.Builder} APIs instead.
 * Apps desiring a string representation of the complete locale can
 * then always rely on {@link #toLanguageTag} for this purpose.
 *
 * <h3><a id="special_cases_constructor">Special cases</a></h3>
 *
 * <p>For compatibility reasons, two
 * non-conforming locales are treated as special cases.  These are
 * <b>{@code ja_JP_JP}</b> and <b>{@code th_TH_TH}</b>. These are ill-formed
 * in BCP 47 since the {@linkplain ##def_variant variants} are too short. To ease
 * migration to BCP 47, these are treated specially during creation. Creation
 * of these two cases generates a compatibility extension.
 *
 * <p>Java has used {@code ja_JP_JP} to represent Japanese as used in
 * Japan together with the Japanese Imperial calendar. This is now
 * representable using a Unicode locale extension, by specifying the
 * Unicode locale key {@code ca} (for "calendar") and type
 * {@code japanese}. When a {@code Locale} is created with language "ja", an
 * empty script, country "JP", variant "JP", and no extensions, the extension
 * "u-ca-japanese" is automatically added.
 *
 * <p>Java has used {@code th_TH_TH} to represent Thai as used in
 * Thailand together with Thai digits. This is also now representable using
 * a Unicode locale extension, by specifying the Unicode locale key
 * {@code nu} (for "number") and value {@code thai}. When a {@code Locale} is
 * created with language "th", an empty script, country "TH", variant "TH", and
 * no extensions, the extension "u-nu-thai" is automatically added.
 *
 * <h3><a id="legacy_language_codes">Legacy language codes</a></h3>
 *
 * <p>For compatibility, a {@code Locale} created with one of the
 * three obsolete language codes, {@code iw}, {@code ji}, or {@code in},
 * will map the language to its modern equivalent, {@code he}, {@code yi},
 * or {@code id}, respectively.
 * <p>The default resource bundle lookup mechanism also implements
 * this mapping, so that resources can be named using either convention,

     * (for example "12" or "USA"), it will be omitted.
     *
     * <p><b>Variant:</b> If variant <b>is</b> {@linkplain ##def_variant
     * well-formed}, each sub-segment
     * (delimited by '-' or '_') is emitted as a subtag.  Otherwise:
     * <ul>
     *
     * <li>if all sub-segments match {@code [0-9a-zA-Z]{1,8}}
     * (for example "WIN" or "Oracle_JDK_Standard_Edition"), the first
     * ill-formed sub-segment and all following will be appended to
     * the private use subtag.  The first appended subtag will be
     * "lvariant", followed by the sub-segments in order, separated by
     * hyphen. For example, "x-lvariant-WIN",
     * "Oracle-x-lvariant-JDK-Standard-Edition".
     *
     * <li>if any sub-segment does not match
     * {@code [0-9a-zA-Z]{1,8}}, the variant will be truncated
     * and the problematic sub-segment and all following sub-segments
     * will be omitted.  If the remainder is non-empty, it will be
     * emitted as a private use subtag as above (even if the remainder
     * turns out to be well-formed).  For example,
     * "Solaris_isjustthecoolestthing" is emitted as
     * "x-lvariant-Solaris", not as "solaris".</li></ul>
     *
     * <p><b>Special Conversions:</b> Java supports some old locale

     * <ul>
     *
     * <li>Deprecated ISO language codes "iw", "ji", and "in" are
     * converted to "he", "yi", and "id", respectively.

     * <li>A locale with language "no", an empty script, country "NO", variant
     * "NY", and no extensions, representing Norwegian Nynorsk (Norway), is

     *
     * <p><b>Note:</b> Although the language tag obtained by this
     * method is well-formed (satisfies the syntax requirements
     * defined by the IETF BCP 47 specification), it is not

     * {@return a case folded IETF BCP 47 language tag}
     *
     * <p>This method formats a language tag into one with case convention
     * that adheres to section 2.1.1. Formatting of Language Tags of RFC 5646.
     * This format is defined as: <i>All subtags, including extension and private
     * use subtags, use lowercase letters with two exceptions: two-letter
     * and four-letter subtags that neither appear at the start of the tag
     * nor occur after singletons. Such two-letter subtags are all
     * uppercase (as in the tags "en-CA-x-ca" or "sgn-BE-FR") and four-
     * letter subtags are titlecase (as in the tag "az-Latn-x-latn").</i> As
     * legacy tags, (defined as "grandfathered" in RFC 5646) are not always well-formed, this method
     * will simply case fold a legacy tag to match the exact case convention
     * for the particular tag specified in the respective
     * {@link ##legacy_tags Legacy tags} table.
     *
     * <p><b>Special Exceptions</b>
     * <p>To maintain consistency with {@link ##def_variant variant}
     * which is case-sensitive, this method will neither case fold variant
     * subtags nor case fold private use subtags prefixed by {@code lvariant}.
     *
     * <p>For example,
     * {@snippet lang=java :
     * String tag = "ja-kana-jp-x-lvariant-Oracle-JDK-Standard-Edition";
     * Locale.caseFoldLanguageTag(tag); // returns "ja-Kana-JP-x-lvariant-Oracle-JDK-Standard-Edition"
     * String tag2 = "ja-kana-jp-x-Oracle-JDK-Standard-Edition";
     * Locale.caseFoldLanguageTag(tag2); // returns "ja-Kana-JP-x-oracle-jdk-standard-edition"
     * }
     *
     * <p>Excluding case folding, this method makes no modifications to the tag itself.
     * Case convention of language tags does not carry meaning, and is simply
     * recommended as it corresponds with various ISO standards, including:
     * ISO639-1, ISO15924, and ISO3166-1.
     *
     * <p>As the formatting of the case convention is dependent on the
     * positioning of certain subtags, callers of this method should ensure
     * that the language tag is well-formed, (conforming to section 2.1. Syntax
     * of RFC 5646).
     *
     * @param languageTag the IETF BCP 47 language tag.

     * keys and attributes within a U extension. Note that subsequent subtags after
     * the occurrence of a duplicate are not ignored.
     *
     * <p>The following <b id="langtag_conversions">conversions</b> are performed:<ul>
     *
     * <li>The language code "und" is mapped to language "".
     *
     * <li>The language codes "iw", "ji", and "in" are mapped to "he",
     * "yi", and "id" respectively. (This is the same canonicalization
     * that's done in Locale's constructors.) See
     * {@linkplain ##legacy_language_codes Legacy language codes}
     * for more information.
     *
     * <li>The portion of a private use subtag prefixed by "lvariant",
     * if any, is removed and appended to the variant field in the
     * result locale (without case normalization).  If it is then
     * empty, the private use subtag is discarded:
     *
     * {@snippet lang=java :
     *     Locale loc;
     *     loc = Locale.forLanguageTag("en-US-x-lvariant-POSIX");
     *     loc.getVariant(); // returns "POSIX"
     *     loc.getExtension('x'); // returns null

     *     loc.getVariant(); // returns "POSIX_Abc_Def"
     *     loc.getExtension('x'); // returns "urp"
     * }
     *
     * <li> BCP 47 language tags permit up to three extlang subtags. However,
     * the second and third extlang subtags are always ignored. As such,
     * the first extlang subtag in {@code languageTag} is used as the language,
     * and the primary language subtag and other extlang subtags are ignored.
     * Language tags that exceed three extlang subtags are considered
     * ill-formed starting at the offending extlang subtag.
     *
     * {@snippet lang=java :
     *     Locale.forLanguageTag("ar-aao").getLanguage(); // returns "aao"
     *     Locale.forLanguageTag("en-abc-def-us").toString(); // returns "abc_US"
     *     Locale.forLanguageTag("zh-yue-gan-cmn-czh-CN").toString();
     *     // returns "yue"; "czh" exceeds the extlang limit, and subsequent
     *     // subtags are considered ill-formed
     * }
     *
     * <li>Case is normalized except for variant tags, which are left
     * unchanged.  Language is normalized to lower case, script to
     * title case, country to upper case, and extensions to lower
     * case.
     *
     * <li>If, after processing, the locale would exactly match either
     * ja_JP_JP or th_TH_TH with no extensions, the appropriate
     * extensions are added as though the constructor had been called:
     *
     * {@snippet lang=java :
     *    Locale.forLanguageTag("ja-JP-x-lvariant-JP").toLanguageTag();
     *    // returns "ja-JP-u-ca-japanese-x-lvariant-JP"

     * @implNote
     * The {@code Locale} class does not provide any
     * syntactic restrictions on variant, while BCP 47 requires each variant
     * subtag to be 5 to 8 alphanumerics or a single numeric followed by 3
     * alphanumerics.  The method {@code setVariant} throws
     * {@code IllformedLocaleException} for a variant that does not satisfy
     * this restriction. If it is necessary to support such a variant, use
     * {@link #of(String, String, String)}.  However, keep in mind that a {@code Locale}

     * transformed to a BCP 47 language tag.

     * mechanisms described in {@linkplain Locale##LocaleMatching Locale
     * Matching}. A list which represents a user's preferences and consists

     *
     * <p>There are two types of language ranges: basic and extended. In RFC
     * 4647, the syntax of language ranges is expressed in
     * <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4234">ABNF</a> as follows:
     * <blockquote>
     * <pre>
     *     basic-language-range    = (1*8ALPHA *("-" 1*8alphanum)) / "*"
     *     extended-language-range = (1*8ALPHA / "*")
     *                               *("-" (1*8alphanum / "*"))
     *     alphanum                = ALPHA / DIGIT
     * </pre>
     * </blockquote>
     * For example, {@code "en"} (English), {@code "ja-JP"} (Japanese, Japan),
     * {@code "*"} (special language range which matches any language tag) are
     * basic language ranges, whereas {@code "*-CH"} (any languages,
     * Switzerland), {@code "es-*"} (Spanish, any regions), and
     * {@code "zh-Hant-*"} (Traditional Chinese, any regions) are extended
     * language ranges.

         * when it is omitted.
         *
         * <p>Unlike a weighted list, language ranges in a prioritized list
         * are sorted in the descending order based on its priority. The first

         * only the first one is included on the Language Priority List.
         *
         * <p>The returned list consists of language ranges from the given
         * {@code ranges} and their equivalents found in the IANA Language
         * Subtag Registry. For example, if the given {@code ranges} is
         * {@code "Accept-Language: iw,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3"}, the elements in
