Hi Jon,
I don't know if this is the correct email to write this.
Thank you for initiating approval for Sylheti Wikipedia
https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/langcom@lists.wikimedia.org/thr…
I would like to point out one thing. Langcom should be aware that Sylheti
wikipedia uses sylheti nagri script. And not many sylheti people can
actually read or write this script. Most sylheti uses Bengali alphabet to
write sylheti (also see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Sylhetis#Sylheti_nagri_script )
I can see there is a discussion about this on sylheti wikipedia:
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wp/syl/ꠝꠥꠟ_ꠚꠣꠔꠣ#আমার_সামান্য_এক_প…
where a sylheti pointed out that there is an organization did a survey and
found out only 12-25 thousands people can actually write or read this
script.
There are c. 10.3 millions sylheti, which means sylheti wikipedia will be
un-accessible for vast majority of sylheti.
There is also pointed out that possible solutions would be lang converter
like some wiki has. I would request langcom to create or ask developer to
create a lang converter for sylheti wikipedia. Mapping already exists, see
https://github.com/mayeenulislam/nagri-bangla
Thank you.
Forwarding to the list as I believe that was the intended target - and
thanks for the info!

Yes, there is an ongoing editathon focused on Ghanaian members of
Parliament, at least in the Kusaal test-wiki. See here:

Hi!
Can we perhaps approve Georgian Wikisource already? :)
It has LOTS of pages in the Multilingual Wikisource, and recently, they
were recategorized.
https://meta.toolforge.org/catanalysis/?title=Georgian&cat=1&wiki=sourceswi…
I can't think of a reason to keep it there.

Dear Language Committee members,
On behalf of the Wikimedia CEE Hub, I am approaching you regarding the
situation related to the Montenegrin Wikipedia incubator project and the
possibility of this project being marked as ineligible (based on your
assessment of Montenegrin language).
CEE Hub was approached by Montenegrin community members who are upset by
the development of the situation. They feel disappointed and left out.
I would like to kindly ask you to consider taking additional steps before
coming to any final conclusions. The language topic is a sensitive one in
the Balkans and it should not be taken lightly. Further engagement and
conversation on this topic with the Montenegrin community (no matter what
the final decision will be) would be in accordance with the standards of
our Movement Strategy.
We are all in this WM movement together, striving to ensure inclusion,
welcoming and safe environment therefor I am once again kindly asking you
to engage with our volunteers and Montenegrin community: communicate with
them clearly, hear them out, organize meetings where they can also talk to
you and hear you.
CEE Hub can support this engagement with the community or help in other
ways if you want. No matter what the final decision will be, let’s make
sure that all the right and just steps were taken.
Thank you in advance for your feedback.
Best wishes,
Barbara Klen
