As far as I can remember, ConTeXt differs from ISO 639 with ancient Greek.
What ConTeXt considers `agr` is `grc` for ISO 639.
As for other languages, which is the file that has the complete list of
languages and its tagging values?

Well, I can check that indirectly (not by Acrobat reading it aloud, but
with https://ngpdf.com).
Linux doesn’t have Acrobat Reader available
The venerable 9.5.5 version for Linux is still available for download (from
selected places). It is old, allegedly has some security holes involving
accessing network resources, and requires a little tender loving care to
get working on 64-bit systems. Having said all that, it is my primary PDF
reader.

P.S. To stave off the questions about why I use it... It does (far) better
font rendering than any of the other Linux programs (excluding web
browsers) that I know about. The day someone figures out how to add
sub-pixel rendering to any of the other Linux PDF readers might be the day
they will be comparable in quality. (Or not.)
when i'm on linux i use okular as that one render quite ok and on
windows sumatra pdf which is also ok (there's also okular n windows
which views ok); the mupdf based viewers are fast too
rendering pdf (and fonts in general) on windows has always been pretty
good (there even was an msdos version by adobe) and cleartype has good
anti aliasing
on linux it depends on the general setup and i always found that ubuntu
(xubuntu) was set up right wrt fonts, others were unbearable which is
why i stayed on windows; recently i managed to set up opensuse (we use
that on a server) to render fonts ok too, although it differs (and over
the year i simply became to sentive for that)
wrt acrobat .. it doesn't offer anything i need; ok, it has some
javascript features that are handy for presentations (managing layers)
but as i don't use it in an edit-view cycle i tend to not use these
frequently and i've given up on other viewers being compatible
