- botanical 1y agoISO 3166-2 code for South Africa. It's from Dutch: Zuid-Afrika. It's used quite often to refer to South Africa; RSA or SA is also used.
- SideburnsOfDoom 1y ago"SA" is ambiguous. People do use to to refer to "South Australia" (the state) or also "Saudi Arabia" ISO 3166-2 country code. ZA is not ambiguous, it has that going for it.
- botanical 1y agoTrue, but I meant in South Africa, SA is the most used. Less so with RSA or ZAR. ZA is somewhat used but SA (I would say) dominates in conversation and in written text.
