Re: [libreoffice-l10n] New language localization

Different sources vary on this but I've asked Kairaba this very question 
and he says it *is* indeed a macro-language they're translating into in 
which Manding, Dioula, Bambara and a few others are considered variants 
of N'ko.

It basically seems to cover both the Eastern and Western branch of 
Manding as covered here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manding_languages

So I think we're ok with "man".
