question about identifying CLDR coverage % for Amharic

[Tom Bishop, Wenlin Institute]

In this part of am.xml the content all looks Amharic:

			<type key="collation" type="phonebook">የስልክ ደብተር ድርድር ቅደም ተከተል</type>
			<type key="collation" type="phonetic">የፎነቲክ ድርደራ ቅደም ተከተል</type>
			<type key="collation" type="pinyin">ፒንይን የድርድር ቅደም ተከተል</type>

In this part English and Amharic content are mixed:

		<characterLabel type="modifier">Modifier</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="musical_symbols">የሙዚቃ ምልክቶች</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="nature">ተፈጥሮ</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="nonspacing">Nonspacing</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="numbers">ቁጥሮች</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="objects">Objects</characterLabel>
		<characterLabel type="other">ሌሎች</characterLabel>

Is there an established system to derive a meaningful "percentage of CLDR coverage for Amharic" from the data? Just from these (not really random) examples one might estimate 70%.

I would like to get a percentage coverage for today, as well as look at the increase over time.  So far here is what I have been told:

To get the codes, you can look at http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/languages_and_scripts.html <http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/latest/supplemental/languages_and_scripts.html>. For example, Ethiopic is 'am'. For more information see the spec: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/ <http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/>
