Hi Edwin,,
Just wondering but do you speak Kapampangan yourself?
And would you be willing to write much of the content on the Kapampangan Wikipedia yourself?
Is there anybody else col-laborating with you?

Sir/Madam:
I wish to request for the inclusion of the Kapampangan language in the List of Wikipedias preliminary to the creation of a Wikipedia for Kapampangan.
Kapampangan (ISO language code "pam"), described in ethnologue.com as a "language of wider communication," is the seventh largest of the eight major languages of the Philippines. It is spoken by over two million people (as of the 2000 census) in the provinces of Pampanga (where it is the language of about 90% of the population), Tarlac (about 40%), and adjoining areas of Bataan and Nueva Ecija. There are substantial numbers of Kapampangans in other parts of the Philippines including Metropolitan Manila, as well as in the United States, Canada and Australia.
Alternate names for Kapampangan listed by ethnologue.com include Pampango, Pampangueño, and Kapampangan. According to the same site, its classification is: Austronesian, Malayo-Polynesian, Northern Philippine, Bashiic-Central Luzon-Northern Mindoro, Central Luzon, Pampangan
Thank you!
Edwin
