Asturian language removed in ios 16

I have noticed calendar and date on lock screen don’t display in asturian language anymore on iphones updated to ios 16 (all iterations until 16.3) even if this is chosen as local (regional) language. As many other languages like welsh, gaeilge, euskera, galician, etc. it seems to has disappeared from database.

Everyone in my school has suffered this bug and many as me (asturian language teacher) decided not to upgrade.

As this happens with lots of other languages as well hope it will be solved soon. Is Apple aware and working in any solution?

Thank you

Hopefully yes, but make sure you tell them how much you want it back via

This is a well known bug (or a deleted feature). Before iOS 16, when you set your preferred language to one of the many dozen which are not supported for the overall system interface, the device would still show the lock screen calendar date in the preferred language. People who speak these unsupported languages really miss this. Here is the example for Welsh from iOS 15 from an earlier discussion.
