Hi,

I suggest approving the N'Ko Wikipedia at nqo.wikipedia.org .

The Incubator[1] has been fairly active, the translation of all the most used messages is complete[2] and the localization activity is going on[3].

Dr. Coleman Donaldson, a linguistic anthropologist who investigates language, literacy and society in Manding-speaking West Africa,[4] and author of several papers on N'Ko language and culture says that the texts in the Incubator are indeed written in N'Ko (see the forwarded email below).

Any objections?

Morning!

I just had a look and a few random pages and indeed, they were all written in "proper N'ko".

Cheers,

Coleman

Hi,

How are you?

We spoke about the N'Ko Wikipedia incubator once.

I am thinking about approving it for a full domain, which will be at https://nqo.wikipedia.org .

For this we need a confirmation from somebody who knows the language that this is indeed written in it. Can you please check that the pages in the list at https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex?prefix=Wp%2Fnqo&namespace=0&hideredirects=1 look like they are written in proper N'Ko?

Thanks!
