The definitions for locale AZB are outdated.

As per https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2023/12/24/azb-locale-edit-azb-locale/
The English language name should be "Turki", and the native name "تورکجه (تورکی)"

Based on iso639-3 and azb.wikipedia.com clearly we have problem in AZB language definition here.

Current native name گونئی آذربایجان means South Azerbaijan and refers to territory name not language name which is not correct. It's like saying native name of "Turkish" is "Turkey"!

$azb->english_name should remain the same ( South Azerbaijani ), but $azb->native_name should be:
تۆرکجه‌ (آذربایجان تۆرکجه‌سی)
(Short correct native name, and exact name inside parenthesis)

'Turki' is not the official English name for this language. It's the Persian name of 'تۆرکجه‌'. Clearly, it has nothing to do with the native_name or english_name of the language.

I agree with @arazgholami.
"Turki" is a common name used by Persians to point to any member of "Turkic Languages" mostly "Azerbaijani Turkish" in Iran and it should not be used as a reference in naming the language in English.
It would be best if you considered the name that native South Azerbaijani Turkish speakers use for their language in this case.
My suggestions are:
English Name: Turkish (South Azerbaijan)
Native name: تۆرکجه‌ (گونئی آذربایجان)

@tobifjellner Sorry to bother you again. It looks like the pull request is blocked due to failed tests. Should we do something about it, or will it be merged automatically in the next cycle?
