Thank you!

Isn't the locale code for Gujarati gu instead of gj?

The error seems to be related to the use of functools.cache, which was introduced in Python 3.9. However, Python 3.8 does not support this feature.
Related to issue #2112

Thank you!

@fcurella It's a debatable topic, but I believe it should be kept as gj and not gu. The reasons are

• number plates use GJ
• it's already mentioned as GJ in State Abbr variable
• Indian Gov website mentioning state abbr also says GJ
• Wikipedia - Indian State Abbrs
• • Referenced in above wikipedia link ISO Code 3166

I also saw that it's added as gu in language_local_codes.

Would like to know your thoughts on this. We should probably keep it consistent everywhere and I'm inclined towards GJ

We are talking just about the language, not the state. We follow [ISO-639]( https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/langcodes_name.php?iso_639_1=gu), where it’s defined as `gu`. Every other place where the language code used is `gj` is incorrect and needs to be fixed.
