Bug ID: 16254
Summary: Is the ku_TR locale appropriately specified?
Product: glibc
Version: 2.19
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
ku is a language group, not necessarily specific enough to define a single
language.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_languages
As the locale is ku_TR it is likely that it is intended to represent the
Kurmancî (Northern Kurdish) language, which would properly be represented by
"kmr"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurmanji
Claimimg ku language code for kmr would seem to to broad a claim, leaving
uncertainty about which of several Kurdish languages is intended.
This is perhaps too large a question to resolve within GLIBC alone, as there
are established L10n projects using ku in
GNOME:
https://l10n.gnome.org/teams/ku/
and Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-ku
and no doubt elsewhere.

"This is the Page of the Kurdish Team. We prepared Ubuntu as the first usable
Kurdish Linux distribution. We are translating into the major Kurdish dialect,
Northern Kurdish or Kurmanji, which is written in the latin script."
