In my opinion, a name:xx tag should only be added if you can
demonstrate<br>
that people natively speaking the living language xx are

<div>There are a few notable exceptions where a name in a "not
so much living anymore" language might be quite useful and
undisputed. I am thinking for example about Latin in Europe,
northern Africa and the Middle East here.<br>

<p>I tracked two of them down in Australia. It is used on the name
of at least one state and the whole country. <br>
</p>
<p>For the whole country it was entered in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/17255604">https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/17255604</a> for many
countries from wikipedia. Over 6 years ago. <br>
</p>
<p>Umm is that allowed, from wikipedia? The changeset does say the
source is wikipedia. <br>
