Hi,

There's a new request for Pannonian Rusyn, also known as Southern Ruthenian or Rusnak at

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Pannonian_Rusyn_2

(I gave User:Keresturec technical help with creating the page, but the request is his.)

The previous one was rejected, because there already was another language called Rusyn with the code rue. There are two languages with this name, one mostly spoken in Ukraine and Slovakia, and another one spoken in Serbia and Croatia.

In 2022, the new code "rsk" was approved for the one spoken in Serbia and Croatia. The PDFs here are quite interesting:

https://iso639-3.sil.org/request/2021-005

They make a convincing case that:

* The language is distinct, and is not a dialect of Serbian or of Carpathian Rusyn.

* The language is small, but developed and active. It has stable orthography, and is used in book publishing, education, government, and daily life.

I therefore recommend marking that request as eligible.

Creating the Incubator in this language is also blocked by AbuseFilter. I asked about this on https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:Administrators%27_noticeboard#rsk and MF-Warburg suggested going through the request on Meta.
