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 [meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Sindhi]. As far as anyone 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_Sindhi&diff=16501764&oldid=16478916] 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
