has a list of "People and
organizations working on MediaWiki accessibility" including Sami
Mubarak, who works on the accessibility of MediaWiki for the blind (in
Arabic). I've cc'd Sami.
Hope this helps!

Please note that "screen readers" and
"readers without JavaScript" aren't
in any way the same thing -- modern screen readers hook into "real
browsers" like IE, Safari, Chrome, and Firefox and JavaScript runs just
great in them.
Serious accessibility concerns should really be referred to someone who's
an expert... do we have anybody on staff or volunteer who has real, direct,
current experience with vision-impaired users and their needs?

First, I want to clarify that the prototype was made just to communicate
the idea in terms of interaction. The The implementation is just a quick
hack to simulate this interaction.
For a production implementation I can image the whole list of languages to
be sent to the client, and then, the list being shortened by Javascript.
For those users without Javascript (from screen-readers, to Search engine
crawlers) the same list of links they receive now will be available for
them.
In any case, developers could provide even better strategies to solve that.
As an interaction designer I just wanted to share the idea to collect
possible concerns with the interaction proposed, to be fixed in next
iterations of the designs before development effort is made.

especialy think of people with view disabilities, for who js often mean
no way to get the content, while a long list of hyperlinks is
manageable.
