In Ireland, there are legally defined areas, collectively "The
Gaeltacht"[1], where Irish is more common. There are signs when you
enter, tax breaks, and the place name signs will all be in Irish (rather
than Irish + English)[2]. I don't think we have them mapped yet, and if
we did, we could use this format.

*But* there isn't any administrative boundaries that define them. They
are small and inside other admin boundaries. They aren't "aboriginal
areas", or "protected areas".

So if you're implementing this, I suggest looking at more than just
enclosing boundary=administrative area(s).
