+* Based as always on linguistic studies on intelligibility and language
+  knowledge by geography, language fallbacks have been expanded. When a
+  translation is missing in the user's preferred interface language, the
+  corresponding translation for the fallback language will be used instead.
+  English will only be used as last resort when there are no translations.
+  Some configurations (such as date formats and gender namespaces) have also
+  been updated when using the fallback language's configuration was inadequate.
+  The new or reinstated language fallbacks are (after cs ↔ sk in 1.28):
+  hsb ↔ dsb, io → eo, mdf → ru, pnt → el, roa-tara → it.
