Babel provides another debugging tool, because it takes a snapshot
of language.dat when the format is built (and provided a recent
version of babel is used). Just write:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[nil,showlanguages]{babel}
\stop

and look at the log file (well, xetex, unlike pdftex and luatex, writes
^^I instead of actual tabs). You'll see the defined languages as well as
the files loaded. On my system (TeXLive) I see:

<*languages>
0^^Ienglish^^Ihyphen.tex^^I
0^^Iusenglish^^I^^I
0^^IUSenglish^^I^^I
