OK, so if I understand this right

lang=<language_code> is supposed to tell what languages that are used in the 
tag name=<place_name>

May I propose to use lang:name=<language_code> instead of lang=<language_code>
(or is it name:lang=<language_code>)

Then the key "lang:" could be used even if there happens to be more tags that 
need its language stated.

By the way, is it only meant as an internal OSM-thing or is it supposed to 
also be a mapping of official languages in the place (or official languages 
expected on road signs)?
