 I agree that "official_language" has a much too restrictive meaning. It
will bury us in bureaucracy of "what is actually official".
"default_language" is a bit vague, but maybe a better fit to solve this
problem.

So just look at a region, see in what language >90% of the labels are, and
add default_language=*. It's not going to be 100% accurate, but infinitely
better then nothing. Than try to get closer to 100% by adding
default_language to subregions, and in the end, individual objects.

I like that approach.
