You mean you want to have all these in the same wikipedia? That would not
be useful because very few people can read all these.

I have an idea: Let's just make a zh-whatever: for
all the different
things relating to Chinese that people want. They can mix Cantonese
with Wu with Mandarin, some romanized, some using characters, they
can
add classical chinese, even jiaguwenzi (tortoise shell ancient
characters), as well as zhuyin fuhao, and dungan (ie sichuan mandarin
writtne in cyrillic basically), and we can also mix in English and
Russian and Portuguese and Korean.
So what do you think?

So would this be created before or after a Cantonese wikipedia?
