Yanam

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

The official language of Yanam is Telugu yet Google Maps put place names in Tamil. I have been changing each singular place name to Telugu but it is very tedious. See https://web.archive.org/web/20200503022028/http://www.lawsofindia.org/pdf/puducherry/1965/1965Pondicherry3.pd

“in the case of the Yanam area, the Telugu language may be used for such official purposes”.

Any updates? Major issue. Convert all names to Telugu not Tamil. You guys can use Google translate to easily fix it
