Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2017.
The resolvedOptions() method of Intl.Collator instances returns a new object with properties reflecting the options computed during initialization of this Collator object.
Try it
const numberDe = new Intl.NumberFormat("de-DE");
const numberAr = new Intl.NumberFormat("ar");
console.log(numberDe.resolvedOptions().numberingSystem);
// Expected output: "latn"
console.log(numberAr.resolvedOptions().numberingSystem);
// Expected output: "arab"
