Hello all,

I investigated which hyphenation pattern Babel would use for each
language option listed in babel.sty, on the artificial settings
where every pattern name (including synonyms) listed in language.XXX
has a distinct \language value (ie. if 'bahasa' and 'indonesian'
were different patterns then which one would 'bahasa' langauge
option choose?). I did the test for both language.ptx and
language.dat lists.
# NB: The set of "all the hyphenation pattern names", "all the valid
# language option names of Babel" and "all the names of ldf files
# provided by Babel" are all-distinct.

The languages for which the results differ is as follows (the full
list is attached)

Language          language.ptx      language.dat
australian        australian        british
bahasa            bahasa            indonesian
indonesian        bahasa            indonesian
indon             bahasa            indonesian
bahasai           bahasa            indonesian
malay             bahasa            indonesian
meyalu            bahasa            indonesian
bahasam           bahasa            indonesian
canadian          canadian          american
magyar            magyar            hungarian
newzealand        newzealand        british
samin             samin             english
kurmanji          english           kurmanji

As for the languages but last two, the two pattern names
resulted from the two settings are synonymous in language.ptx.
As is already argued in this ML, the patttern for language
"samin" is in fact absent in either setting. The pattern
"kurmanji" is a real addition and simply favorable.
As a consequence, there will be nothing bad happening,
even if a user is using weird language options names
such as "canadian".
