Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Setting Up Sesotho For LibreOffice Languages

I saw that,
From our end, we refer to the language as Sesotho.
Based on this point there are some other significant differences even how
we speak and use the language. Given that Lesotho is an independent state,
our language doesn't tend to have some of the influences from other
languages in South Africa.
However given that our language in its current form is the official
language, there is some issue that may need be addressed and that there are
some significant differences in how they are written.
