    A and Á (E and É etc.) are separate letters in Icelandic alphabet. I have contacted xindy community but I have no idea about the progress. Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 5:42

    Thank you, it would be great help. The letters with diacritics (namely in active use - á, é, í, ó, ú, ý - are new word groups ([wikipedia] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_alphabet). Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 7:25

    I see, it is great to consider all options. To complete the theoretical background - all modern Icelandic dictionaries recognize the letters with diacritics as separate letters. Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 8:51

    It is an interesting problem, I will post a sample when I am ready. I have noticed you are adding Czech (and maybe Slovak) terms/names into your Icelandic index, I will add those extra accented letters to the xdy file too. A regular user with only Icelandic terms won't recognize it, but it might help you in your work. Well, it might not be needed afterall as the first term in index is always a name in Icelandic. But that Icelandic name could occur several times and then extended version of xdy file would be useful. Commented Apr 9, 2014 at 9:31

    Yes, it was expected. I am working on minimalistic version of style for Xindy and I will test it with pdflatex. Commented Apr 11, 2014 at 5:30
