+# Get A List Of Locales On Your System
+
+The `locale -a` command will list all the available locales on your system.
+
+You'll see a giant list that probably includes these and many more values.
+
+```bash
+$ locale -a
+
+en_NZ
+nl_NL.UTF-8
+pt_BR.UTF-8
+fr_CH.ISO8859-15
+eu_ES.ISO8859-15
+en_US.US-ASCII
+af_ZA
+bg_BG
+cs_CZ.UTF-8
+fi_FI
+zh_CN.UTF-8
+eu_ES
+sk_SK.ISO8859-2
+nl_BE
+fr_BE
+sk_SK
+en_US.UTF-8
+...
+```
+
+Each of these locales identifies itself by the language and the manner in which
+the language is used in a particular place. For example, `en_NZ` is _English as
+it is spoken in New Zealand_. `fr_BE` is _French as it is spoken in Belgium_.
+`en_US.UTF-8` is _English as it is spoken in the US, with a UTF-8 character set
+encoding_.
