Here are questions to be answered prior to setting up zones in the "asia" file:
1. What's the English translation of the Han name of the city with the largest Han population in Asia/Urumqi? 2. What's the English translation of the Han name of the city with the largest Han population in Asia/Kashgar? 3. What's the English translation of the Uyghur name of the city with the largest Uyghur population in Asia/Urumqi? 4. What's the English translation of the Uyghur name of the city with the largest Uyghur population in Asia/Urumqi? 5. When exactly did the Asia/Urumqi Uyghurs start using their own distinct time? 6. When exactly did the Asia/Kashgar Uyghurs start using their own distinct time?
The path forward depends on the answers to the above questions.
I suspect that you mean "transliteration" or (most likely) "transcription" for "translation" throughout (e.g. you'd want something like "Beijing" and not "Northern Capital"), and that 4 applies to Asia/Kashgar. Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@gmail.com>
