Good luck for fixing this...if this needs fixing.


Can you please point me - which line made the problem?


Dunno.
Actually, either the alphabetical order is correct according to
Bengali collation rules and you and other Bengali speakers are the
only ones who can tell....or it is wrong and the collation order
should be fixed.

In short, what is the "normal" alphabetical order between Bengladesh
and India when written in Bengali?

বাংলাদেশ -- Bangladesh
ভারত -- India

If the locale needs fixing, LC_COLLATE is what should be fixed. This
is one of the most complicated sections, imho, in locale files. The
help of a locales specialist would be needed if a fix is needed.



In bn_BD [1] locale it says,
-----------------------
LC_COLLATE
% TODO: Bengali sorting should be added
copy "iso14651_t1"

END LC_COLLATE
-----------------------


In bn_IN [2] locale it says,
-----------------------
LC_COLLATE
% Copy the template from ISO/IEC 14651
copy "iso14651_t1"

%
END LC_COLLATE
-----------------------

I don't see any difference in the LC_COLLATE block, except the % comment line. :-?

Best,
`Jamil
