Subject: Wrong Language for Sri Lanka
The official language for Sri Lanka is Sinhala, not Singhalese. This small program gets it wrong: #!/usr/bin/perl -wT use Locale::Object::Country; my $l = (Locale::Object::Country->new(code_alpha2 => 'lk')->languages_official)[0]; print $l->name . "\n";

They're the same thing according to: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php however it seems Sinhala is the more official one (patched)
