If the purpose of a Wikipedia or wiki in general is to communicate information... then creating a wiki to serve a small group of people who are already fluent in other major languages does not serve the purpose.
Not quite that. Nearly every Sorabian speaks German, but the Sorabians do have a linguistic community that has activities. A Wikipedia in that case makes very much sense. - Don't forget that a language is more than a tool to communicate, it also deals with identity. Ziko van Dijk
