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!
