What is the "official language"? This is not always unambigous for every part of the national territory. Even in Germany with few minorities there are exceptions (e.g. [1] de: "Mittlerweile lautet der § 184 des Gerichtsverfassungsgesetzes: „Die Gerichtssprache ist deutsch. Das Recht der Sorben, in den Heimatkreisen der sorbischen Bevölkerung vor Gericht sorbisch zu sprechen, ist gewährleistet.“ -> In areas with a majority of Sorbs [2] they have the right to speak Sorbian at court). cheers, Martin [1] http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorben#Rechtliche_Grundlagen [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbs _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
What they're actually looking for is the language which mappers usually use for the unqualified name tag: 'Please do not list all languages used in a country only the official language that would be used by the "name" tag.' (as is says on the wiki page).
