Abbreviations, automatic: Difference between revisions

Comment: My 16th line differs from most other solutions. Whereas the others indicate a need for 16 characters to create unique abbreviations, my solution indicates a need for 17. If you take the first 16 characters of that language's weekday names (with the underscores), you get this:
<pre>
Dzeenkk-eh
Dzeehn_kk-ehreh
Dzeehn_kk-ehreh_
Tah_neesee_dzeeh
Deehn_ghee_dzee-
Tl-oowey_tts-el_
Dzeentt-ahzee
</pre>
Notice that if we were to strip the underscores so that we could present the weekdays in their "true" form, the second and third names would become indistinguishable. It's not until you add the 17th character of each weekday name that the "true" abbreviations would be distinguishable. This was the only discrepancy between my solution and others. Full data follows.
