You can run the following query to return all the collations that are supported in your instance of SQL Server:
SELECT name, description FROM sys.fn_helpcollations();
Note that this returns quite a long list. Running that statement on SQL Server 2017 returns 3955 collations.
You can narrow the result set down if you’re interested in a particular collation.
For example, you can do something like this:
SELECT name, description FROM sys.fn_helpcollations() WHERE name LIKE 'Latin%';
This returns only those collations that begin with “Latin”.
Here’s what that query returns in SQL Server 2017:
