Oops - I'm an amateur at these things. I now see that there is also  
another folder, Geo, within Control Panel\International, and I can see

Control Panel\International\Geo\Nation

of which the value on my machine is 84 (presumably Hex, so decimal  
132). Not sure what that means, but it still doesn't accord with your  
idea of primary language codes AFAIKS...
