At the same time, CLDR says "eMzantsi Afrika": http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/xh/T_Africa/ > > % > > % Abbreviated country postal name - "ZA" > > country_post "<U005A><U0041>" > > committed. OK, let's leave it as it has been committed. I'm not telling this is wrong, I'm telling that with the variety of versions I don't know which is correct and it may be changed in future, for example if a native speaker requests. Regards, Rafal

Yes, it looks a bit difficult. The CLDR value from the survey tool http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/v#/xh/T_Africa/ is probably also preliminary because there is no http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/main/xh.xml yet.
> As a general rule I don't think we should make changes based only on Wikipedia. Please at least check their references, and cite the primary source in the locale file. I believe wiki page in locale language is more trusty (specific to locale information like Country name specific to that country, week, months for that locale etc ) then other sources. Like locale page for indian language. >> The same wiki article also contains "uMzantsi Afrika" as its title, >> with the lowercase "u" despite it's in the beginning of a sentence. >> At the same time, CLDR says "eMzantsi Afrika": >> OK, let's leave it as it has been committed.
