Official Support for Kurdish Dialects (Sorani & Badini)

Goal:

Add official support for Kurdish (Sorani and Badini) to the language selection and adding specific glyphs used in the Kurdish alphabet.

The Problem:

Kurdish players face two major barriers:

Broken Connectivity: Kurdish is a cursive script; letters must change shape and link based on their position.
Missing Glyphs: Unique characters like ێ, ۆ, پ, ڕ, ڵ, چ, ژ, ڤ, گ often appear as characters that don't connect default to Arabic or Persian fonts.

Why It Is Needed:

Accessibility: Thousands of young players in the Kurdistan region and the global diaspora cannot fully enjoy the game due to language barriers.
Educational Potential: Minecraft: Education Edition utility is limited in Kurdish schools without native script support.
Community Ready: Volunteers are ready to translate strings via Crowdin immediately if the languages are listed.

Proposed Solution:

Engine Update: Ensure the font renderer handles the Perso-Arabic script’s connectivity rules (Initial, Medial, and Final forms).
Extended Font Support: Incorporate specific Kurdish Unicode blocks into the default font.
Crowdin Integration: Open official Sorani and Badini projects.
Dialect Selection: Provide separate toggles for Sorani and Badini to reflect the linguistic needs of the community.
