What's the difference between "iPhone Languages" and "Other Languages" ?? Because there are a ton more options listed under "Other Languages."

I'm not sure – I don't have the beta myself so I didn't see that. Maybe someone else can shed some light? I know there are Siri languages and dictation languages, which are separate sets. I'm curious to know about the "Other Languages" if you find anything else out. Does the UI switch if you choose one of them?
 
Hindi (India) & Siri

Can someone check if Siri on iOS8 supports Hindi? or at least understands Indian English?

iPhone languages are just UI languages. This is completely separate from Siri and Dictation languages (these two are also entirely different sets)

So "iPhone Languages" is for the UI, and "Other Languages" is for Siri and/or Dictation –*is that correct?
