Hi,
Every now and then there are proposals to add support for writing Minnan in Chinese characters.
Currently, there is a Wikipedia in Minnan in Latin characters: https://zh-min-nan.wikipedia.org . (Its domain should probably be renamed to nan.wikipedia.org, but that is blocked for unfortunate technical reasons and this is not what this email is about.)
However, there are proposals to allow that language in Chinese characters, at least as a localization, for example: * https://en.wikivoyage.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:The_dog2&oldid=392... * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T180771
I am not opposed to adding nan-hani or nan-hant or something like that for MediaWiki localization (whether to make a whole wiki in that language is a separate question, not for discussion in this thread). However, I know almost nothing about these languages. Can anyone think of a reason not to do it?
And if it's done, what should the code be? nan-hani, nan-hant, or something else?

Beep... No ideas from anyone?

I've asked Benjamin Yang from PanLex, who was the keynote speaker at WikidataCon last year, about input on this.

Some user from respective region have previously told me that because Simplified Chinese doesn't work for writing Min-nan, the "-Hant" designation is redundant and thus nan-Hani should be sufficient to identify the language/writing of "Min nan in Han script"
