Flesh out grammatical categories #25
Description
We have a set of grammatical categories/features in CLDR, that are also used in ICU. It would be very useful to flesh out these categories so that we have a consistent set of identifiers for grammatical categories, and lists of which categories are applicable to which languages, and for which scopes.
Currently the data for this is limited:
- Nouns & noun clauses: gender, case, definiteness, plurals (cardinals), ordinals, plural ranges.
- Two scopes: general and units
- Limited locales
- gender, case, definiteness: (50) Amharic, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Bangla, ... Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Uzbek
- plurals: (300+) Afrikaans, Akan, Albanian, Amharic, Anii, Arabic, Aragonese, Armenian, Assamese, Asturian, Asu, Azerbaijani, ... Xhosa, Yakut, Yiddish, Yoruba, Zulu

I think this would be beneficial to CLDR/ICU with improving data quality and maybe reducing the size. It could also help our effort in defining which categories we want to tackle.
