Re: Locale languageTag anomaly
Naoto, Thanks, and I guess I didn't think to check out the special case rules. Sorry about that. -- Jon On 06/07/2018 02:42 PM, Naoto Sato wrote: Hi Jon, JDK historically represents Norwegian Nynorsk language with no_NO_NY (JDK unique "NY" variant), because it predates the ISO 639-1:2002 standard which introduced "nn" as the language code for Nynorsk.

Locale languageTag anomaly
Regarding Locale.toLanguageTag, Locale.forLanguageTag Should I be surprised (i.e. is it a bug) that out of 736 installed locales in a standard build of JDK, exactly 1 locale fails the following round-trip test: locale.equals(Locale.forLanguageTag(locale.toLanguageTag())) The locale "no_NO_NY" comes back as "nn_NO". Attached is a test program.
