Two things:
If a language still has native speakers, rather than just having literate people, we should require at least two native speakers. We have had projects in the past built and run by people with only a very tentative command of the language in question, and this has led to trouble down the road (for example, mi.wp).
Also, despite constant requests on the talk page for the addition of some sort of numerical criterium in re: "potential readers" or "potential editors", I strongly reject this argument for modern natively-spoken languages. As long as a community can produce articles and has enough editors to meet the other requirements, I think it is sufficient.
