The Languages plugin looks for language codes as specified by the browser (specifically, the user agent). It then displays whatever language codes it finds.
There are some problems with this strategy though. There is no standard way of conveying this information, and so the algorithm that the Languages plugin uses tries to match any language code it can find. Thus it is not very accurate. The Languages may 'find' a language code when there isn't one really and may not find a language code. The probability of not finding a code when one is really specified is virtually zero, but still, we can never know! In short, take the results as an estimate more than an accurate set of numbers.
If a browser does not report a langauge, it is defaulted to 'English'.
The language codes that are searched for are taken from the ISO639 standard.
