RE: List known filetypes?

:echo glob($VIMRUNTIME . '/ftplugin/*.vim')

or

:echo glob($VIMRUNTIME . '/syntax/*.vim')

(I find the latter a better exhaustive list, the former are often
shared by multiple languages.)

Much tougher, each syntax/filetype is detected in a different way.
Often by extension, but sometimes by internal file structure or
format.
