In a list of languages to select autonyms must be unique so that
every user would know what to select.

  • Batak Toba language in the Batak writing variant (bbc-batk) has
    an autonum in the right script now. This is taken from the Indonesian
    Wikipedia article "Surat Batak".
  • Similarly to the practice with pa -> pa-guru:
    • iu for Inuktitut in the Canadian script redirects to ike-cans.
    • ks for Kashmiri in the Arabic writing redirects to ks-arab.
    • tg for Tajik in the Cyrillic script redirects to tg-cyrl.
  • zgh has an updated autonym, taken from Ethologue.
  • zh-classical redirects to lzh, similarly to zh-yue -> yue.

Isn't it better to keep something like: 'Batak Toba Latin' ?

It's written in Latin, so it's self-explanatory. That's what we do for other names, like ug.
