Ethnologue does not cover artificial, historical or ancient languages—only living and extinct languages.  "Extinct" in this setting is the ISO 639–3 sense: gone extinct in the last few centuries.

Speaking of Ethnologue, I can't get three page views a month any more, even wiping cookies. What's up with that? Can anyone help us get some limited access?

Well... As it was with Lingua Franca Nova: I'm somewhat skeptical about the usefulness of this project and about the future activity once the founders lose interest, but I'm not really opposed to it.

I was also a bit skeptical about the validity of the code, because it doesn't appear on Ethnologue. But it does appear at https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/avk , so I guess it's OK.

Any other comments other than Michael's repeated approvals? ;-)

If not, we can move forward on this, but I'd like to hear the thoughts of at least a couple more committee members.

They have a very active test wiki in Incubator, with more than 3,000 articles, which makes it bigger than the Novial Wikipedia (which we approved in 2008) and about the same size as the Lingua Franca Nova (LFN) Wikipedia (which we approved in 2017). There are several active users, and sustained activity for many months.
