We build a similar base in the config file of Osmose-QA, it's done for
country or subcountry area, with OSM boundary relation ID. It's more map
langue(s) than the official ones.

You could try to look at the street qualifiers ex. Rue, boulevard,
cercle, croissant,etc placed before the street name would be french
where as English places it after the name
Xyz street
rue Xyz

John I meant the name itself: Jeanne d'arc weather you say
boulevard or Boulevard it's pronounciation should be french same
with Des Forest, Decarie, Chateau, Charlemagne.
But then you have really english names like Tenth Line, Pheonix,
Aquaview, etc
So as I said generalizing won't help as well as south Montreal is
very very very English.

Orleans is part of Ottawa and all street names signs are
bilingual or in the process of being replaced by bilingual
ones. Certainly the street I live on in Orleans has a
bilingual street name sign. The English French question is
very much political in Canada and I suspect much of the world.
Montreal has a quite large English speaking community which is
rare in Quebec.
You could try looking at the street names to see if they are
in English and have a second language name as well. name:fr
for example.

Well it might not be as simple as you say...take for
instance Ottawa. It's in Ontario and pretty english. There
is a suburb called Orléans in which is pretty much "the
french part of town" as most street signs will be in
french, but rest of Ottawa is pretty English(in terms of
street signs)
So generilizing wont help you much...

Exactly, and that's the map I need -- a set of shapes
that define these region mapping: Quebec+New Brunswick
=> fr, the rest of USA/Canada => en, ...
The shapes may overlap because that would make geojson
smaller - I will simply use the first one.
Having this map will allow me to determine the likely
language of the "name" tag for any location, which in
turn make for a better multilingual map.

Well many countries have multiple official
languages, Canada is French and English, but in
practice is mostly Quebec and New brunswick...with
small patches of french throughout the rest

James, thanks, but I was hoping for the
language regions shapefile, e.g. in the
GeoJSON form. The list of official languages
will require a lot of work to convert into the
merged shapes, and it still not very good, as
many countries have several official
languages, e.g. Switzerland.

Does anyone know of an open source
language map - basically a set of
geoshapes with the corresponding
language code? Country boundaries
are not needed - e.g. Canada and
USA would be English with the
exception of French for Montreal
area.
This is needed to guesstimate what
language the "name" tag is in.
Does not have to be very precise
(10-20 MB is more than enough)
