impr(languages): add Bemba language (@kopachef)

[kopachef]

Description

Adds Bemba language support to Monkeytype with three word lists:

• bemba
• bemba_1k
• bemba_10k

Bemba is a Bantu language and is the most commonly spoken language in Zambia, with roughly 5-6 million speakers. I have had this language support working on a personal Monkeytype fork at https://typing.martinnn.com, and I wanted to contribute the language data upstream so it can be used by the wider Monkeytype community.

Most of this data comes from work I did for my undergraduate thesis, where I built a morphological analyser for Bemba:

https://project-archive.inf.ed.ac.uk/ug4/20244657/ug4_proj.pdf

The language files use the BCP 47 tag bem, and include the metadata requested in the language contribution guide:

• rightToLeft: false
• ligatures: false
• orderedByFrequency: false

I also registered the new language variants in the schema and added them to a single Bemba language group.

Validation run locally:

pnpm run check-assets-languages

Result:

Languages are all valid

One note: the older checklist item mentions adding languages to _list and _groups. In the current codebase, those files have been replaced by packages/schemas/src/ languages.ts and frontend/src/ts/constants/languages.ts. This PR follows the current structure and passes pnpm run check-assets-languages.

Hi @kopachef

One note: the older checklist item mentions adding languages to _list and _groups.
