Hallo!

I am going through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one email per day.

I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the first batch of the letter M.

== Magahi ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Magahi

Code: mag

My take: Eligible.

== Maguindanaon ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Maguindanaon

Code: mdh

My take: Eligible.

== Makassar Malay ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Makassar_Malay

Code: mfp

My take: Don't know. In the discussion, there are some people who say that it's perhaps the same as Malay (ms), but there are other opinions, too. It's also unclear whether this language is written anywhere at all. This reminds me of the situation with Hejazi (acw), which I mentioned in the email about the letter H.

== Makhuwa ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Makhuwa

Code: vmw

My take: Eligible.

== Mampruli ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Mampruli

Code: maw

My take: Eligible. I've recently been in contact with a Wikipedian who knows it and is interested in contributing to it.

== Manado Malay ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Manado_Malay

Code: xmm

My take: Probably eligible. As with Makassar Malay, it's hard to say how unique it is. For what it's worth, Ethnologue says that there's dictionary, grammar, and New Testament translation, and the digital status is "Ascending". The Incubator has quite a lot of pages, too. Any other opinions?

== Manobo ==

Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Manobo

Code: mbb

My take: Delete unless the request creator replies at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Qzxpqbp#Request_for_Wikipedia_Manobo
