Hoi,
Dari is an official language ... it is recognised as an ISO-639-3 language code prs [1]. There is a formal procedure and to start the process of getting a Wikimedia project a request has to be made [2]. Once the process is made, the eligibility will be considered. When a language is eligible, the work done in the incubator will be rewarded with a project when the set requirements are met.

PS ping me once the request has been made.
Thanks,

Working on a collaboration with Translators Without Borders to translate 80 key medical articles into Dari. Have added a couple here http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/prs/%D8%B3%D8%B1%D9%85%D8%A7%D8%AE%D9%88%D8%B1%D8%AF%DA%AF%DB%8C

Wondering what the steps are to get it approved as an official language? Am hoping to get the translators to also begin editing Wikipedia. And could also use a bunch of templates to work.
