I'am thinking about purchasing my first mac but need to know what languages it support.
The languages I use on a daily basis for my job are Hebrew, Arabic, Swahili, Persian, Icelandic, Kalaallisut which is also known as Greenlandic, Yoruba, Hausa, Dholuo, Zarma and Oromo. Does it support even half of them if not its a no go because I need to be able to use them at any time.

OS X can support almost any language available in Unicode, but for some you might need to add a font or keyboard layout. See this page:
While those languages do appear in System Preferences/International/Languages, OS X does not come with support for all of them. Support requires an appropriate font and a keyboard layout, so that you can read and type text. Examples of languages for which these are missing (and therefore must be found elsewhere, if they are available) include:
OS X can also support various languages not on the list in System Preferences, such as Coptic, Syriac, Tifinagh, Sumerian, Akkadian, Ogham, Runic, Gothic, and Etruscan, as long as they have been encoded in Unicode and a font/keyboard has been installed.
