There are many possible 'culture' based classes that one might want to use. At the finest grained level (and in the most ambitious case), one might want to predict actual countries of origin ( standardized country names are provided by the United Nations). At all more course-grained levels, countries must be aggregated into meaningful units.
Commonly used meaningful aggregations include:
- UN GeoRegion Codes
- A language development based aggregation
