iOS has separate region and language settings. Quick look at Apple docs suggests that this is the former.

No, it's the latter.

In NSLocale, "region" is a subtype of language, as in a regional dialect, not an independent dimension.

Nope, [[NSLocale currentLocale] countryCode] returns Region country code from settings. The same code is also used for language region, so you can end up with something like zh_US.
