I wrote about it to Ethnologue, and they have replied and said they'll fix it!

I love it when Wikipedia changes sources :)

If the translatewiki link doesn't work, try this one: http://bit.ly/2s4e9SR

And the current Incubator is indeed mostly written in the Warang Citi script: 5 pages in Devanagri and 48 in Warang Citi.

Ok, will do.

Also, your link below to the 'request a new language'-page on translatewiki does not work. There seems to be an obligatory period at the end as part of the link. [1]
Finally, looking at Ho language's page list on Incubator [2], I find most pages in an unrecognised script whereas [hoc-deva] seems to be just a handful. Or am I misinterpreting what I see on my screen?

I'll keep you posted once I get a reply.

Ah, curious. Could you perhaps also ask whether there are any websites in Ho at all? Or would Wikipedia be the first one?

I had written to a linguist contact with connections to a Ho literacy and translation project. Interestingly enough, all work and publications of that project is written in the Odia / Oriya script [1], i.e. in neither of the three mentioned so far. I've been put in contact with a Ho person on that project's staff and hope to receive more information about scope and target group of those publications and their acceptability.

Fwiw,
Oliver

Hi,

There is a proposal to add support for the Ho language to transaltewiki:
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Request_to_start_a_new_language.

It is for now not implemented, and the explanation is that the request is to do it in the Warang Citi writing system, and Ethnologue says that it is "no longer in use". I strongly suspect that Ethnologue is not quite correct on this matter, because there are three sources that contradict it:
* the encoding proposal by Michael Everson
* the page at Scriptsource to which Ethnologue itself links
* an article by Norman Zide, linked from Scriptsource

I have no direct knowledge of this language, but the sources above seem more convincing to me than Ethnologue itself.

The remaining question, however, is whether we should add more than one variant for this language (hoc-wara, hoc-deva, and perhaps hoc-latn) or should it be just hoc, and assumed to be written in Warang Citi?

Thanks!
