What would be the best tags to use for mapping language regions? I would like to create a map of primary languages spoken in an area. This will greatly help with multilingual maps, allowing data consumers to calculate which language name tags to use for which locale. This will also give OSM community a much greater control over such maps.
Proposal (relations only, must have closed polygons): type=language primary=xx (required) secondary=yy;zz;... (optional) A relation may span multiple countries (e.g. US and most of Canada for English), or split countries (e.g. EN and FR regions in Canada). In some cases, the relation will reuse country border ways. What do you think?
