I would also ask Ietf-languages whether the `Prefix` of `jyutping` should be corrected/updated.

I'm not asking everything in HK to be retagged as yue.

The name in standard written Chinese "書面語" in Hong Kong is basically the name used in BOTH Mandarin and Cantonese. There's no reason for us to introduce `cmn` for Mandarin in Hong Kong while using `zh` for Mandarin accross the globe and other websites/applications.

This is the same practice that the Taiwanese/Taigi language (Taiwanese Hokkien) would simply use nan-* instead of tagging them under zh (example: zh-Hant=板橋, nan-Hant=枋橋).

For the `Prefix: yue`, it means the language subtag of the language tag should be `yue` rather then specifying the "immediate-prefix".

Also, I'm pretty sure we need compatibility for Wikimedia/MediaWiki at least, with the fact that `zh-cmn` is being marked as deprecated and both `cmn` and `zh-cmn` is not commonly used both anywhere across the internet and in OpenStreetMap entities (nodes/ways/relations).

If Cantonese being included in `zh` in OSM here, then its arguably this creates problems for, at least, Wikimedia sites using OSM.

If we use a separate `cmn` for Mandarin, then the problem would be more, including the duplicated work and the side affect to places like OSMAnd.

> That being said, I believe if more subtags from `*-Latn` to `*-Latn-pinyin` is specified, using `cmn` would be wise anyway. `zh` is only needed for compatibility at a simple level.

Negative. BCP 47 only allow either `bo-Latn` or `zh-Latn` to be the prefix of `pinyin`

> Also I still don't see your wiki page?

Are wiki pages still required even when checking and editing them one by one?

> Similarly, an application already using tags that start with the 'ar' (Arabic) subtag might continue to use this more general subtag even for new data, which could be more precisely tagged with 'arb' (Standard Arabic).

This is what actually happened across the world wide web.

> language = 2*3ALPHA ; shortest ISO 639 code

The "shortest" ISO 639 code also made `zh` being used instead of `cmn`.

> Content in Cantonese might **historically** have used a tag such as "zh-HK"

Context: this is when ISO 639-3 was not being introduced.

Negative.
The standard written Chinese "書面語"/"书面语" in Hong Kong is actually the same writing system of written Mandarin with some Cantonese terms even when reading them in Cantonese, and the written Mandarin place names are actually the same Simplified/Traditional Han characters used in Cantonese, which makes them written identically.
Also, using `yue` in `zh` would broke across lots of sites/apps including Wikimedia Maps, Android as none of the Mandarin websites use lang=cmn-* and all of them use lang=zh-*/values-zh-* including OSMAnd, Wikipedia, Wikidata, other Wikimedia websites, the Taiwanese Goverment websites, and more.

Follow-up: Dennis from OpenStreetMap Taiwan had told me there's a way to limit queries in Overpass Turbo.

Hello,

I was using Level0 as it do help me to group changes based on the visual map. However, it could not handle relations and ways properly and stuck on loading their child ways/nodes.

I saw "The JOSM editor permits splitting changes done across a larger area in saves of smaller parts" on the page. However, I only found this: https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/19712 .

Is there any functionality/feature to split edits into changesets based on country/region/province/state in JOSM? Is there any link describing it?

Thanks for the help.
