There are an increasing number of places/features in NSW that are
getting dual (aboriginal) naming.
For example:
- Booraghee / Bradleys Head
- Cooyoyo / The Castle
- Fort Denison / Muddawahnyuh
From the point of view of the Geographic Names Board, there doesn't
appear to be any primacy given to one name or the other.
Is there a view as to how to record these in OSM?
The specific aboriginal language is not necessarily known.
There are obviously tags like 'alt_name' that can be used to store a
second name, but not sure if that's most appropriate in cases like this.
cheers
Tom
