By far, the oldest remaining unaddressed Requests for new languages on the Meta RFL page
are those of Wikipedia Balochi [macrolanguage] and Wikipedia Eastern Balochi, both of
which date to the summer of 2010. In addition to those two requests, there is an RFL for
Southern Balochi, marked "eligible" by Gerard in 2008, and an RFL for Western
Balochi, open and unaddressed since 2014.
At some point, Satdeep was looking into these. But I think the first question is this:
* Are these languages mutually intelligible? In particular, are they mutually
intelligible in writing?
Can someone at least help me get an answer to that question? I have the sense from the
English Wikipedia article Balochi
language<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balochi_language>—the one article covers
all—that they are. But that's just a sense; it's not proof. The answer to that
question will dictate the next steps to take.
