Greetings,

I have ready a package of updated and new locales for ICU.
As the package is a bit long, I'm mailing a URL instead:

  http://yacob.org/icu-yeha.tar.gz

A "README" file describes updates.  New languages and regions
include the following:

-------------------------------------------------------
 Language | ISO-639 |  Region(s    |  Dialects
----------|---------|--------------|-------------------
  Afar    |    aa   |  DJ, ER, ET  |  Standard, Saaho
  Blin    |   byn   |  ER          |  Standard
  Ge'ez   |   gez   |  ER, ET      |  Standard
  Sidama  |   sid   |  DJ, ET, KE  |  Standard
  Tigre   |   tig   |  ER          |  Standard
-------------------------------------------------------

The ISO 639 language code for "Blin" as "byn" was announced
on Monday, October 27 2003.

thank you,
