1) And I really hope, that in the end of the day, two layouts for Kyrgyz Language will work exactly just as layouts for Russian language. For example, if you go in Ubuntu 8.10 (Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex) to

System > Preferences > Keyboard

and select 'Russian Federation' on the tab 'By country', then you can choose among several options in 'Variants'. I hope for Kyrgyzstan there will be two options in the 'Variants' field:

Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyzstan Phonetic

2) On the same place (Keyboard Preferences) if you go to tab 'By language', then you can find an option 'Kirghiz; Kyrgyz', which is wrong. Kirghiz is an obsolete name in English for Kyrgyz Language. This denomination can be used in some European languages like probably French, but it English the language is called 'Kyrgyz'. Official name of the country is Kyrgyzstan or Kyrgyz Republic, the same way the language is Kyrgyz.

Can this be corrected at this stage? Or should I file another report?
