A name in Southern Altai, used by 68,700 people in Altai Republic (map).

Note, most uses of this tag are tagging errors. Use the alt_name=* tag to provide an alternative object name. The Southern Altaic language is written in Cyrillic, so all other writings are tagging errors.

Note that this tag is useful when an object has names specified in more than one language:

  • If name=* is in Southern Altai then it specifies which language is used in the main name tag
  • If name=* is in a different language then it specifies the name in Southern Altai
