Re: [Langcom] Bodo autonym

Hi, At the langcom meeting in Berlin today Satdeep and Miloš brought up the topic of adding support for translating into the Bodo language. It's easy to do technically, but I want to use this as an opportunity to make sure that we have the autonym written correctly. * The current language database file <https://github.com/wikimedia/jquery.uls/blob/master/data/langdb.yaml#L78> in the UniversalLanguageSelector extension lists it as "बड़ो". * The English Wikipedia article <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodo_language> says "बर'". Note the apostrophe in the end. I remember reading somewhere (probably the InScript standards files) that apostrophe in a part of the orthography of some languages of India, so it sounds possible. * The main page of the Bodo Incubator <https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/brx/%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B9%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%87_%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%B2%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AF> also has "बर'", as does the article about the language <https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/brx/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%B0%27_%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B5> . * To confuse things completely, Ethnologue <https://www.ethnologue.com/language/brx> says "बोडो‎". (It also gives the main English name of the language as "Bodo"). So what is correct? -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T. Moore‬
