Looks like weblate can add new languages (I only checked documentation so far), so it should be possible to collect new translations to not yet available languages.

So, if UTF-8 supports all of this, creating them should be possible.

If you want to use this languages, we will have to check for support on the target systems, I am willing to see how to get them included into cldr.
AFAICT glibc, android, osx, windows all use it.

Anyway, I have no personal experience with it and expect it to take some time (i.e. caused by release cycles).
