Hi,
I am in the process of creating a POSIX Locale [1] for Cherokee. For
those of you who are not familiar with Linux. Creating a locale is
one of the first steps in the localization process for Linux-based
Operating Systems.
There are usually only two sections you have to modify. The
LC_COLLATION section which has something to do with sorting ad whatnot
and the LC_TIME. For the LC_TIME section you have to input the days
and months in the language as well as the abbreviated forms. I looked
online for the Cherokee Months and days and found the following.
Days
============
1. Monday: ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏉᏅᎢ [unadodaquonvi]
2. Tuesday: ᏍᎵᏁᎢᎦ [talineiga]
3. Wednesday: ᏦᎢᏁᎢᎦ [tsoineiga]
4. Thursday: ᏅᎩᏁᎢᎦ [nvgineiga]
5. Friday: ᏧᏅᎩᎶᏍᏗ [tsunvgilosdi]
6. Saturday: ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏈᏕᎾ [unadodaquidena]
7. Sunday: ᎤᎾᏙᏓᏆᏍᎬᎢ [unadodaquasgvi]
Months
=============
1. January: ᏚᏃᎸᏔᏂ [dunolvtani]
2. February: ᎧᎦᎵ [kagali]
3. March: ᎤᏄᎳᎯ [unulahi / anvyi]
4. April: ᏥᎶᏂ [tsiloni / kawoni]
5. May: ᎠᏅᎢᏍᎬᏘ [anvisgvti / anisg'tvi]
6. June: ᏓᎭᎷᏱ [dacaluni / dehaluyi]
7. July: ᎫᏰᏉᏂ [guyequoni / gayequoni]
8. August: ᎦᎶᏂ [galoni]
9. September: ᏚᎵᏍᏗ [dulisdi]
10. October: ᏚᏂᏅᏗ [duninvdi / duninidi]
11. November: ᏅᏓᏕᎶ [nvdadewa / nvedequa]
12. December: ᎥᏍᎩᎦ [vsgiga / vsgiyi]
Could anyone on this list confirm/review this and possibly suggest the
abbreviated forms of the days and months. Once I have this I can
submit this to glibc under the GPL licence an open source license.
Cheers
