Hi Antony,
The reason we should not reject this proposal is the same reason we have two Wikipedias
for Punjabi.
There is no major linguistic difference but complete linguistic coversion is not possible.
Also, we will have to consider one script superior to other.

There is a request for Sindi in Devanagari

can tell, there is no linguistic difference between this and Arabic-script Sindhi, which
already has a Wikipedia at
sd.wikipedia.org.
A user has pointed out
[
meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_S…]
that online conversion between the two scripts should be possible (neither script uses
capital letters), so is there any reason we shouldn't just reject this proposal?
Regards,
Antony
