If the more specific language code is known, it should be used. Do you know where a list of these language codes for Australian Indigenous languages might be found? It took me long enough to find the aus code on https://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php, and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-2_codes. 'nys' isn't listed on either of them. I'm no expert (I'm trying to learn more), but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Aboriginal_languages seems to suggest that most of Australia can be considered to belong to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pama%E2%80%93Nyungan_languages, but I can't seem to find any sort of language code for that group. - David On Fri, 26 Jan 2018 at 22:28 Andy Mabbett <a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk <mailto:a...@pigsonthewing.org.uk> > wrote: On 26 January 2018 at 12:09, David Dean <dd...@ieee.org <mailto:dd...@ieee.org> > wrote: > I've done a little research, and added the following > Please use the name:aus (aus is the general ISO639-2 code for Australian > Aboriginal Languages) to indicate the indigenous names of places. While I strongly support the recording of indigenous names, with a language code, surely more specific codes should be used where possible? For instance, 'nys' for Noongar (in WA)? -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Talk-au@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au -- http://dbdean.com
