hello,
I am from Andalusia, and I do not think like that, there are a lot of people in Andalusia that not think like that, and not just in Andalusia. Andalusian is for me and not just for me an other language. There are a lot of pages in Internet where it will be discussed about the grammar and orthography of andalusian.
Anyway, I did not wanted to discuss about this. I just wanted to know how to get start a wikipedia in Andalusian, I think it has to be requested, and then it wil be discussed if it is really necessary to create it.
Otherway, there are a lot of languages that are oficcially dialects from another languages, and they have a wiki (asturianu, aragones, sicilianu, murciano, alemmanisch, plattdüütsch, etc...) I sure Andalusian is the most spoken language between those.
And Aragonese or Asturian are not more different from castilian as andalusian, they were it in the past, but not today.
Well, I wanted to ask how can I get started its creation, it will be discussed if a wiki in andalusian is necessary, but first of all it has to be started, and that is the reason why i write here, to get help.
thanks.

I would like to create a new wikipedia in my language, but it do not appear in the language-list, so I think I have to ask for its creation here.
Andalusian is the name of that language in Englisch, its regional name is Andalùh.
Andalusian is a dialect of Spanish. As far as I can see, Ethnologue's 14th edition had an entry on it, while the 15th edition has removed it and demoted it to the status of Spanish dialect.
Ethnologue also states (in the entry about Asturian) that Andalusian is less different from Spanish than Asturian; keeping in mind that Asturian is already quite close (although we do have a separate Asturian Wikipedia at ast), it would seem that for the purposes of Wikimedia, Andalusian is effectively Spanish.
