Thank you for your work. You set in Afghanistan default_language=ps. However, as far as my knowledge reaches Dari (Afghanistan Persian [fa]) is the lingua franca of Afghanistan. According to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan#Languages) Dari (fa) is spoken by 80% of the Afghans, and Pashtu (ps) just by 47%. (first and second speakers). Also I see that in OSM in most cases the Persian name is the name primarly used in the name tag. I will do further research, but I think fa should be the preferred language in Afghanistan.

Hi! Please take a look at the https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:default_language -- this key is not about the primary spoken language. It only indicates the primary language of the "name" tag. It is very possible that it should be changed to "fa" for Afganistan. Or maybe there should be smaller areas with the other default. I do not speak either of the languages, so feel free to change it to whatever the primary "name tag" language is. Thanks for looking into it!!!
