As of Android 7.0, you can read the list from the Language settings straight in the source. You can see the Android version in the URL:

• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-9.0.0_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml
• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-8.1.0_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml
• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-8.0.0_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml
• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-7.1.2_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml
• https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-7.0.0_r1/core/res/res/values/locale_config.xml

The list for Google Play descriptions is different:
