I would like to purpose OSM uses the same standard as this Wikipedia Article.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_communities_in_Nunavut I really believe that *name=** should be written in english (Community). Inuktitut name if different from the name = *alt_name* Inuktitut syllabics = *name:in (ᐃᖅᐊᓗᑦ)* Example OSM data *name *= Arctic Bay *name:in *= ᐃᒃᐱᐊᕐᔪᒃ *alt_name *= Ikpiarjuk *population *= 823 *population*:*date *= 2011 *source:population *= Statistics Canada (2011 census) *wikipedia:en *= Arctic_Bay http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:population Cheer John On Sat, Sep 17, 2016 at 2:27 PM, Denis Carriere <carriere.de...@gmail.com> wrote: > Also all there is a lot of Canadians from BC, Alberta, Ontario & Quebec > that travel for work to those locations by flight and none of them would > understand the Native names of cities, it would bring a lot of confusion to > visitors. > > *~~~~~~* > *Denis Carriere* > *GIS Software & Systems Specialist* > > *Twitter: @DenisCarriere <https://twitter.com/DenisCarriere/>* > *OSM: DenisCarriere <https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/DenisCarriere>* > GitHub: DenisCarriere <https://github.com/DenisCarriere> > Email: carriere.de...@gmail.com > > On Sat, Sep 17, 2016 at 2:12 PM, James <james2...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> As john said, the people of nunavut can speak the language, but do they >> write it or read it?
