Invalid short month names in LV

[ozldmezot]

Hello,

I encountered an issue with the following code:

 'months_short' => ['Janv', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'Mai', 'Jūn', 'Jūl', 'Aug', 'Sept', 'Okt', 'Nov', 'Dec'],

in file src/Carbon/Lang/lv.php

Carbon version: 2.53.1

PHP version: irrelevant

Expected values are:

'months_short' => ['Janv', 'Febr', 'Martā', 'Apr', 'Maijā', 'Jūn', 'Jūl', 'Aug', 'Sept', 'Okt', 'Nov', 'Dec'],

based on the legislation "Par mēnešu nosaukumu saīsinājumiem latviešu valodā"

P.S.
I created a pull request: #2478

Hello 👋

According to https://likumi.lv/ta/id/281651-par-menesu-nosaukumu-saisinajumiem-latviesu-valoda this should also be lower case and with the trailing dot.

So I would opt for:

'months_short' => ['janv.', 'febr.', 'marts', 'apr.', 'maijs', 'jūn.', 'jūl.', 'aug.', 'sept.', 'okt.', 'nov.', 'dec.'],

Can you tell why marts becomes martā and maijs becomes maijā? If there are multiple possible ending depending on the context, then we should probably keep the abbreviated versions.

[ozldmezot]

You are absolutely correct, there could be multiple possible endings depending on the context, however, since marts and maijs are not abbreviated I figured they should mimic the ending from months key

I see you also suggested adding dots at the end of abbreviations, good catch

[ozldmezot]

In my honest opinion, mimicking months key makes more sense, than introducing invalid abbreviation

Switched to lowercase and suffixed with dot where needed in the PR as suggested by @kylekatarnls
