The Speech API (SAPI) Phone Converters specify the languages they support in a list of Language Identifiers. You can find this list in the registry key for PhoneConverters by inspecting its Language attribute, at the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\PhoneConverters\Tokens\Universal\Attributes\Language
The Language Identifiers consist of a Locale Identifier that represents the combination of a Primary Language Identifier and a Sublanguage Language Identifier. For a full list of languages and their identifiers, see Language Identifier Constants and Strings on MSDN.
The Universal Phone Set (UPS) should be used for all Microsoft-supported languages EXCEPT the seven languages currently supported by the SAPI phone set, shown in the following table:
