Hi everyone, I've done a little research, and added the following section to the Australian Tagging Guidelines at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Places, and the Multilingual names page at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Multilingual_names:
Please use the name:aus (aus is the general ISO639-2 code for Australian Aboriginal Languages) to indicate the indigenous names of places. It would be useful to do this even when the generally used name is indigenous, to allow for a potential indigenous rendering of our maps. I hope we can all agree that this is an excellent idea, and starting adding these everywhere we can. Here's my first go: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/55769062. So far we currently have about 4 name:aus tags in the whole country (see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/voW). We can do better that that! - David -- http://dbdean.com
