Just checking—it has been over a week, so if I'm not getting any objections, I'm requesting the domain creation.

See below—a confirmation from Coppe van Urk, a Dinka researcher, that the Dinka Wikipedia incubator articles are written in Dinka.
I was impatient, so I followed Vito Genovese's advice, and it worked quickly :)
Can we proceed with approval?

Dear Amir, Yes, all of these articles seem to be written in fluent Dinka. Note that, although I have studied the language extensively, I'm not a native speaker so it's possible that there are errors I'm not spotting. Best, Coppe

Dear Dr. van Urk
My name is Amir Aharoni, and I'm a member of the Wikimedia Language Committee.
We received a request to create a new domain for an edition of Wikipedia in the Dinka language. Several test articles were already written for it, and as part of our domain creation procedure, we need to check with a third-party expert that the articles were indeed written in this language.
Here's a sample of articles that were written:
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Wp/din https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Thud%C3%A4n https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Manyw%C3%AB%C3%ABth https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Arekw%C3%ABl https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Lu%C3%B6l_Ajou_De%C5%8B_Akuei https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Ruanda https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/K%C3%A4th%C9%9B% C9%9Br_ke_Cu%C3%ABny_Thud%C3%A4n https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/R%C9%9B%C9%9Bnke n_T%C9%94%C5%8Bbaai_%C3%AB_Thud%C3%A4%C3%A4n https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/din/Ku%C9%9Br%C3%AByor
All I need to know is whether the text there actually looks like it's written in the Dinka language.
Thank you!
