Change of the local name of the Lombard language from "lumbaart" to "lombard"
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I ask you to change the local name of the Lombard language defined in the MediaWiki core from "lumbaart" to "lombard". "Lombard" is better since "lumbaart" is written in a ortography that is no longer used. We had already started talking about this on the wikimedia forum (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Forum#The_local_name_of_Lombard_language_(lmo).) Nowadays "lombard" is much more used as the two Panlombard ortography use "Lombard".
A discussion on traslatewiki (https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Portal_talk:Lmo) was also started where there is consensus among the translators.
In addition you can also easily verify through a search on the wikipedia in Lombard language that "lombard" (https://lmo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Ri%C3%A7erca&limit=500&offset=0&ns0=1&search=Lombard) is extremely more used than "lumbaart" (https://lmo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=lumbaart&title=Special%3ARi%C3%A7erca&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1). It is enough for you to see the number of search results on lombard Wikipedia.

As a lmowiki admin, I need to make clear one thing: is not ONLY the main form in the two panlombard orthographies, but "lombard" is the form for "Lombard" in basically every classical orthography of the Lombard dialects.
