--- Comment #8 from David Sommerseth <dazo(a)eurephia.org> ---
(In reply to Mike FABIAN from comment #6)
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml contains for Norway:
<layout>
<configItem>
<name>no</name>
<shortDescription>no</shortDescription>
<description>Norwegian</description>
<languageList>
<iso639Id>nor</iso639Id>
<iso639Id>nob</iso639Id>
<iso639Id>nno</iso639Id>
</languageList>
</configItem>
[...snip...]
So it looks to me that "nno" is used to lookup that name in
case
of Norway and "dan" is used for Denmark. And the name is looked up
in And /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639.xml.
You seem to be unto something here. As the Norwegian layout is defined with
both "Norwegian" (nor), "Norwegian, Bokmål" (nob) and "Norwegian,
Nynorsk"
(nno) - where only the 'nno' is the one being picked up. Only the 'nor'
alternative should be used.
But Danish is "simpler", that it only has a single <iso639Id/> entry,
while
Norwegian currently have 3 entries listed. Does all these three really need to
be listed here? As I said in comment #0, the Norwegian Bokmål and Norwegian
Nynorsk are 100% identical in regards to keyboard layout; the main difference
is how (quite) some words are spelled and/or pronounced - otherwise the rest of
the language characteristics are basically identical - and both are considered
a "Norwegian" language. Unless I've misunderstood something,
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml is used for keyboard configuration - so
removing the 'nob' and 'nno' entries shouldn't cause any harm.
