Re: [Wikimediaau-l] adopting a language project

Tetum does sound like a good idea. For the sake of brainstorming I've listed some other languages here... Just as a point of reference, the most common languages spoken at home in Australia are English (80%), Chinese (2.1%), Italian (1.9%), and Greek (1.4%), Arabic, Serbian, French, Spanish, German, Macedonian, Croatian, Polish, Turkish, Indigenous languages, Hindi, Maltese, Netherlandic, Tagalog. Focusing on refugees to Australia (offshore humanitarian visa grants 2007-08): Top Ten Countries of Birth [1]: Burma/Myanmar (Burmese), Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Liberia, Congo (DRC), Burundi, Iran, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka. And there's also another Australian language, which only has loose ties with English, and happens to be only language other than English I can hold a conversation in. Auslan could make an interesting Wiktionary project. It's in the same family as British Sign Language, but not related to American sign language (ASL).
