The correct orthography for Kreol Morisien(Mauritian Creole) can be verified at

http://www.cleverdodo.mu/userfiles/media/Lortograf%20Kreol%20Morisien.pdf

Section 6.1.1

This is the official language that is being taught at school and the University
of Mauritius, using this document as guide. This document has precedence over
any other according to lecturers even over the official dictionary. The
language is young and not set in stones, but for the days and months, the
dictionary and AKM orthography follow the same rules.

[Bug localedata/25508] mfe_MU locale: Correct orthography for the name of days and months into the official Kreol Morisien Orthography

[maiku.fabian at gmail dot com]

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25508

--- Comment #4 from Mike FABIAN <maiku.fabian at gmail dot com> ---
-country_name "Moris"
+country_name "Mauritius"

This change is probably wrong because country_name should
contain the name of the country in the language of this locale, i.e. in Kreol
Morisien, not in English. The English name of the country is in:

territory  "Mauritius"

-language   "Morisyen"
+language   "Morisien"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauritian_Creole says:

> Mauritian Creole or Morisien or formerly Morisyen (Mauritian Creole: kreol morisien

So this change is probaly OK, "Morisien" seems to be the newer spelling.

CLDR still has "Morisyen:

https://github.com/unicode-org/cldr/blob/master/common/main/en.xml#L380

<language type="mfe">Morisyen</language>

So this should probably be fixed in CLDR as well.

All other changes seem to be upper casing the first letter of
the words (for the days of the week for example). I am not sure about these
changes, CLDR has all of these in lower case.

-lang_name    "kreol morisien"
+lang_name    "Kreol Morisien"

Both CLDR and Wikipedia have this in lower case.

Thank you very much, I don't know if you are Mauritian, and can read the
document I linked. I am a Kreol Morisien educator at primary school level
and can give clarification if needed. However I do not know how to code the
locale correctly. I will need to find out how to use this as my new locale
in Linux now.
