I create already a new repo on gitlab :
https://gitlab.com/lafricain79/myanmar-hunspell-dic but only for the
dic, the other things are not in my skills.

Yes, already done. But The dic doesn't "work". After installing the oxt,
or copy the files in /usr/share/hunspell. The spellchecking doesn't
work. Burmese or Myanmar don't appear in the list of language. I tried
to add manually "my" and "my_MM". Nothing. Can have a look to the
extension in gitlab to be sure I didn't make errors in it?
I remember similar problem when I tried to do the Kikongo (Kituba)
dictionary.

Ok I download the deb package, but I had dependencies issues with
Libreoffice of the Ubuntu official ppa, I need to install LO from the
Document Fondation website. Well it is now in Burmese! Very good.
Maybe for the hunspell spellchecker,  I need to use an other code, no?
Bu or something like that?
