            Bug ID: 19956
           Summary: Is aa_ER@saaho locale really ssy_ER locale?
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: cjlhomeaddress at gmail dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Given the closeness of Afar and Saho languages, it seems like a formal
possibility that the "Saaho dialect" variant of the aa_ER locale might actually
represent a linguistic entity with a unique iso639 code, specifically ssy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saho_language

We should explore this possibility by going back to the original locale
authors, if possible.  If true, we may achieve a result that not only provides
a more accurate language description (ssy), but also removes a non-standard
locale name from glibc.  I would imagine an extended period of maintaining a
linked entry before eliminating aa_ER@saaho.

i think the locale came from Daniel, so adding him to CC

--- Comment #2 from Mike Frysinger <vapier at gentoo dot org> ---
also found this page that suggests it should be renamed:
  https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/LocaleMapping#Mapping

aa_ER@saaho claims "Afar language locale for Eritrea (Saaho Dialect)", but ssy
denotes "Saho, A language of Eritrea. Very similar to Afar". Convert aa to ssy
when the @modifier is saaho, i.e. aa_ES@saaho -> ssy-ER. Unicode Technical
Standard #35[6] suggest the same.
