I wonder if this will confuse people with es_419. To avoid that I may recommend sub-continents rather than regions, so:
en_005 (South America) en_FK en_GY
en_013 (Central America) en_BZ
en_029 (Caribbean) en_AG en_AI en_BB en_BS en_DM en_GD en_JM en_KN en_KY en_MS en_SX en_TC en_TT
FWIW see all territories here: https://translation-commons.github.io/lang-nav/data?objectType=Territory&view=Hierarchy&searchBy=ID&searchString=019&sortBy=Code
@conradarcturus - you want to treat en differently than we treat es? We don't have the breakdown in es that you are proposing. Also that goes against what was agreed on in https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-18809 where the goal is to group inheritance based on shared locale data instead of based on region. FWIW, es_JP is actually Latin American Spanish (Japan) as well :)
Happy to make a es-029 which is a child of en-419 if you think it would be better? We do have a ticket requesting it, I'm just trying to avoid many levels of data that we have to maintain consistency in. https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/CLDR-15031
Ah sorry for not following up on my comment & then leaving for vacation. Do you plan to continue this PR (presumably for v49 now?)
To reply to your comment: Your reasoning is sound :) I withdraw my comment. I was overly cautious about people mixing en_419 and es_419 but I don't think that's necessary.
