Hi Martin,

This is a work in progress.  The current CLDR Release, 25 just contains bm.xml and bm_ML.xml.  bm.xml is Latin script 
data, which concurs with the entry in likelySubtags.xml.

Ticket http://unicode.org/cldr/trac/ticket/7232 is to set up a separate bm_Nkoo locale, but that work has not yet been 
completed.
