Perl 6 renamed to Raku

Well, we have english_GB, scots_GB, gaelic_GB, cornish_GB, scouse_GB, geordie_GB, etc etc.

To make matters worse, English is the language of the Saxon south, Scots is the language of the Anglish north, and Gaelic the language of the Scottish west.

Cornish and Welsh, I believe, are the "original" British language, predating the Saxons and Romans. (A Welshman was originally a pre-Saxon inhabitant anywhere in the country.)

And Scouse and Geordie are quite likely the remnant of the Viking/Norse invasions of middle Britain.

Cheers,
