Hi Bruno Norbert from the TeX Live (and Debian TeX Team) here.
(please keep Cc) here in Debian we got a bug report about using xindy with Norwegian and Saami words: On Sat, 15 Aug 2020, Petter Reinholdtsen wrote: > I ran into this problem when using dblatex and xindy to typeset a book, > where the index ended up with the wrong sorting order.

The reported also provided a patch how to fix this, see below. Could you please comment on whether this is valid or not? If yes, I would also update the xindy rules in TeX Live.
