Hi James,
Northern Luri is basically something similar to the Scots Wikipedia case again.
It has been ascertained that the content of
lrc.wikipedia.org is not
actually written in an understandable form of Northern Luri (lrc). It is
more of an attempt to present a "pure" form of the language without
Persian or Arabic loanwords, which then uses Kurdish loanwords instead
and results in something like a hybrid of (Northern) Luri,
Laki, and Kurdi (written with the Kurdish alphabet). Since this is a complete invention by
User:Mogoeilor (and maybe some others), the wiki is incomprehensible to the general public.
This
is the result of consultations with linguists and native speakers.
While several times during the discussions about this proposal some
"experts" sent some – sometimes very unprofessional – mails to the
Language Committee, saying that this project was totally legitimate and
real, none of them could be confirmed to be real linguists working on
Northern Luri or to even be real persons.
According to the
closing projects policy,
I have therefore recommended the closure of this wiki, which has
received no objections from other members of the Language Committee.
This means that "The decision will be implemented one week after giving notice unless
members of the Board, which has final authority, wish to take the matter
up."- so therefore, I'm notifying you as Board liaison so that the Board can exercise its "reserve power", if it wants.
Best regards
MF-W
