Subject: [PATCH] Rename Oriya to Odia
Date: Wed, 18 May 2022 05:26:39 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Since Oriya was renamed to Odia in 2011. (
https://legislative.gov.in/sites/default/files/A2011-15.pdf) Here is a
patch to do the same in Emacs.

I have not changed it wherever unicode, is13194, iso639, cdac and akruti
were involved, since they all use the old name. (I am not sure about cdac
though, because I was not able to run their software)

There was also a typo in erc/erc-lang.el and lisp/ldefs-boot.el, iso639-1
was written as iso638, I fixed that.

Please review the patch.
Also please check if the commit message is correct.
Thank You.

In the interest of preserving backward compatibility, I think we should
define indian-ori-base-table and indian-ori-itrans-v5-hash an obsolete
alias of indian-odi-base-table and indian-odi-itrans-v5-hash.  I don't
think we can do such a thing for the language environments or the input
methods tho.  We also need to announce these changes in NEWS.

I think we should include the bill link in the commit message for future
readers.

Thanks.

In general, this patch is too radical, and unnecessarily so.

> * etc/HELLO: Rename Oriya to Odia.

The changes to HELLO do more that the above says.  I don't think I
understand the reason for the change in the "South Asia" line.

Also, please include the bug number in the commit log message.

This is unrelated, and I see no reason to rename the variable in a
backward-incompatible way.  It's just a variable, so it doesn't have
to be named rigorously correct.  If we were discussing new code, the
correction would have had its place, but not now, 16 years after it
was introduced.

I don't think we should rename variables and functions.  It's just a
lot of hassle for us (defalias etc.) and potentially for others, and
the gain is very small.  This variable doesn't even say "oriya", just
"ori".  Let's not be too radical here.

The doc string should say that this language environment was
previously named "Oriya".

We cannot rename an input method we had for almost 20 years.  If there
is some way of having an alias for an input method (I don't think so,
but maybe I'm missing something), let's use that; otherwise we will
have either to leave the old name alone or define a new input method
that is an exact copy of the old one, except for the name and the
mode-line indicator.

> -	  /* Workaround for crash when displaying Oriya characters

This is incorrect: characters are named by Unicode, and Unicode still
calls that block Oriya (and will not change the name, AFAIU).

The South Asia line was correcting the Odia greeting, which I had changed
previously (from "Listen" to "Namaskaar")

This is unrelated, and I see no reason to rename the variable in a

This variable name is somewhat misleading. When I searched "iso 638",
online to see whether the language codes were updated or not,
 it showed me results for oven boards, later when searching "iso 638
languages" I realized that the correct standard number is 639.
There was also a FIXME above it, so I fixed that.
If there is a backward-compatible way to change it please tell me, or if
you still feel the change is not warranted, I will revert this it.

Then I should only rename in etc/HELLO, and in (set-language-info-alist) of
lisp/language/indian.el.

How about I make a new Odia input system, just like the ones which I had
made for the other scripts, and leave the old ones alone?

A backward-compatible change would need to introduce an obsolete alias
with the old name.

By "input system", do you mean a separate language-environment with a
separate input method?  That would be OK, I think.

Thanks.

I meant to say, "input method".
Is there a need for a separate language-environment?
I think only writing a new input-method  will be sufficient, right?

It's okay to have a separate input method, yes.

Thanks, I installed it.  I also added an "Oriya" language-environment,
which is an exact copy of "Odia", so that people could still activate
it under the old name.

What you said about input methods applies here too.  We should add the
