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 in the UniversalLanguageSelector extension lists it as "बड़ो".

* The English Wikipedia article 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 also has "बर'", as does the article about the language.

* To confuse things completely, Ethnologue says "बोडो‎". (It also gives the main English name of the language as "Bodo").

So what is correct?
