Re: [libreoffice-l10n] New language localization

This probably isn't the right solution.  "man" is a macrolanguage
called "Mandingo" but it doesn't include all of the Manding languages;
in fact it doesn't include Dioula or even the N'ko language (nqo):

Plus, some of the languages under "man" are written in Latin script.

Why not nqo?
