Hi, most countries now have a default_language [1] tag, specifying the most
likely language of the "name" tag in that region.  Here's a list of 60+
countries that have multiple official languages.  If you have local
knowledge, or can research it, could you add the proper default_language
tag to these relations?  Also, if most of the country uses one language,
but some region uses a different default language, please set first
language on the whole country, and the second language on the smaller admin
region.  Do not set multiple languages, e.g.  "en;fr".  See
Key:default_language wiki page.

This query generates a list of admin boundary relations that have no
default_language tag. It also shows country's the official languages per
Wikidata.    http://tinyurl.com/y9382ewv
