Languages discrepency between this package and rinvex/countries

We use both this repo and rinvex/countries in different capacities and have noticed that there are 41 languages in rinvex/countries that are not present in this repo.

    [arc] => Aramaic
    [bar] => Austro-Bavarian German
    [bjz] => Belizean Creole
    [ber] => Berber
    [cal] => Carolinian
    [bwg] => Chibarwe
    [zdj] => Comorian

    [toi] => Tonga
    [lua] => Tshiluba
    [tvl] => Tuvaluan
    [zib] => Zimbabwean Sign Language

I suppose you could argue about some above but Mandarin is spoken by almost a billion people and should probably be included in this repo's list.

Thank you for supporting both repos!

Is your lib supposed to accept culture in constructor?

If I try to parse the string "pt-BR", I get an error saying that the language code may be misspelled, invalid, ...
I've tried with pt_BR, en-US, en_US, etc. without success.

<?php
require "./vendor/autoload.php";
use Rinvex\Language\LanguageLoader;

$language = language('en');
echo "OK for en" . PHP_EOL;
$language = language('en-US');  //Not accepted by the constructor, it generates an exception.

I have to develop this code:

<?php
require "./vendor/autoload.php";
use Rinvex\Language\LanguageLoader;

$languageCode = 'pt-BR';
$nativeName = '';
$pieces = explode("-", $languageCode);
$language = language($pieces[0]);
if (count($pieces) == 1) {
	$nativeName = $language->getNativeName();
} else {
	$cultureInfo = $language->getCulture($languageCode);
$nativeName = $cultureInfo['native'];
}
echo "Language is $nativeName" . PHP_EOL;

It looks weird to me. You should accept the culture in the constructor and then populate the culture info, if any.

Missing ISO 639-2/B code

We have only getIso6392() method which returns ISO 639-2/T code. But ISO 639-2/B is not defined and the code is different. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes

For example

ISO language name	639-1	639-2/T	639-2/B	639-3
French	fr	fra	fre	fra

Thank you!

You helped me a lot with your composer packages! Thanks!

Php 5.6 backport

Hi @Omranic,

This package is incredibly useful, and could potentially be something that can make a lot of people happy. I've created a backport to php 5.6 because some of us are still stuck on php 5.6 for some time due to "constraints".

In any case, it might be worthwhile mentioning this backport on your page to save potential users from having to do the port themselves :)

Thanks for the great package!

Missing Austria language

Hello Support Team
on languages.json file, i don't see language and information for the Austria country, can you please do some checks?
Thank you

Readme shows wrong php version compared to composer.json

Rinvex Language is framework-agnostic, so it's compatible with any PHP framework whatsoever without any dependencies at all, except for the PHP version itself ^7.0.0. Awesome, huh?

Should be updated to

^7.1.3

According to the composer.json file
