Description Qingyu Wang 2005-12-30 14:32:05 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; zh-CN; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Red Hat/1.0.6-1.4.2 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
Glibc does not support following major Indic locales:
1. Oriya language locale 
2. Sinhala language locale 
3. Assamese language locale 

Although assamese scripts borrowes heavily from the Bengali script(which is supported by glibc now and whose locale is bn_IN) and is nearly same barring for 2 or 3 alphabets which are exclusively used in Assamese and not in Bengali. The following two alphabets are used exclusively for the Assamese script: U09F0 and U09F1. On the other hand the alphabet: U09B0 is used in Bengali but not in Assamese. So need to add a new locale for Assamese. http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0980.pdf

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
glibc-2.3.4-2.9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL4 with supporting all languages
2. In directory /usr/lib/locale/ you can't find the locale files for these three languages
  

Actual Results:  In directory /usr/lib/locale you can't find the locale files for these three languages

Expected Results:  In directory /usr/lib/locale you will find the locale files for these three languages

Additional info:
Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2006-01-16 10:45:27 UTC 
Please reopen when the support for those languages is written as a request
to include them.
Comment 3 Leon Ho 2006-03-03 02:01:17 UTC 
Bug #142708 and Bug #142709 are the requests for RHEL5.

Initial localedef for si_LK
Comment 5 Leon Ho 2006-03-09 01:44:26 UTC 
FYI, actually the glibc cvs trunk should have a latest version of this localedef:

Comment 6 Leon Ho 2006-03-14 02:18:27 UTC 
Look like rawhide glibc contains Sinhala locale def. Closing this until we see
any bugs on it. Thanks.
