For verification, we usually approach an outside scholar or research
linguist of the language in question. Does anyone know of such a
bona-fide person? Usually, such an expert would alert us to problems,
e.g. of inconsistencies due to lack of orthographic standard (which
tends to be more prominent in macrolanguages than in languages proper).

conclusion, but so far nobody brought up problems either... though I'm
still a bit wary because we already had a fair share of problems with
such languages which are macrolanguages with Southern, Eastern,
Northern etc. subdivisions. But at least there is an ISO 639-3 code.
The most-used msgs are complete.
Activity is sustained by at least 3 editors since February (so 3
months now at the end of April), which is ok (though the most active
contributor in this month is a bot).
I find Gerard's question interesting - anyone can look at
https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/wp/bgn to
find out - I will try to do this tomorrow and inform you all.

Hi,
I received a few requests to check the status of Western Balochi
incubator (bgn).
The code bgn is legit, the translation of most-used messages is
complete, and the activity in the incubator is reasonable. A lot
of pages are written; many are just one or two lines long, but I
don't think that I mind.
Do we want to verify that it's the right language?
