This would appear to be a fairly representative example of this sort of community? As my two sources said - the local people speak their own language amongst themselves, but do also speak English. So I guess we could draw an admin level 9 or 10 border around Peppi & tag it with language=eng / nam? Don't know what you would do Vic Daly though = eng / "language codes 1 - 10"? & BTW, there's also now an ISO 639-3 table of (3-letter) language codes! https://iso639-3.sil.org/code_tables/639/data/all Hope this all helps? Thanks Graeme
