I strongly object to Sumerian cuneiform.

That's fine with me.  But having different names depending on the locale
is an absolutely horrible idea.

(What should happen when a Homenet localised for Amharic merges with one
that uses Tigrinya?  Should the Homenet advertise two zones and duplicate
everything within both?  Or should it pick one dominant language according
to the number of speakers?  Please provide working code with your answer.)
