            Bug ID: 23172
           Summary: miq_NI: Provide actually abbreviated month names
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.28
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

In Miskito language the abbreviated month names (abmon) are not really
abbreviated:

$ LC_ALL=3Dmiq_NI.utf8 locale -k mon
mon=3D"siakwa kati;kuswa kati;kakamuk kati;l=C3=AE wainhka kati;lih mairin =
kati;l=C3=AE
kati;pastara kati;sikla kati;w=C3=AEs kati;waupasa kati;yahbra kati;trisu k=
ati"
$ LC_ALL=3Dmiq_NI.utf8 locale -k abmon
abmon=3D"siakwa kati;kuswa kati;kakamuk kati;l=C3=AE wainhka kati;lih mairi=
n kati;l=C3=AE
kati;pastara kati;sikla kati;w=C3=AEs kati;waupasa kati;yahbra kati;trisu k=
ati"

This may lead to confusion and ambiguity if there is a limited space to dis=
play
the month name, for example in `ls -l' command.  I'm not telling how short =
the
abbreviated name should be, just please make them shorter because the longe=
st
is 15 chars long.

Unfortunately, Miskito is not supported by CLDR so there is no place where I
can copy from.
