Hi everyone,
Thanks all for your replies and information.. really appreciate it. Yes, the ISO-693 code
for Ahirani language is AHR and its very similar to Marathi language and even script is
same as which is used for Marathi language, i.e. Devanagari. So there are no obstacles in
terms of fonts, characters or symbols. also as mentioned in preivous emails, Ahirani do
have estimated million users around the world. I would even say more than million. So you
all can imagine, how good opportunity this is. Also I read few requirements mentioned in
previous emails..like first I will have to start an incubator project and then the team
will finally decide on the basis whether to approve it or not. So I will right away start
the incubator project. other than this, I dont see any obstacles as all the requirements
seems to be okay.
please let me know if any other major obstacles are there.
regards,
deepak

Ahirani is written in the Marathi variant of Devanāgarī, though this is a modern
development, the older literature is in the Modi script. Since there already is a Marathi
wikipedia, the script should not present a significant obstacle.

Hoi,
There are a couple of things that are a requirement before a new language
gets its first project:
- The language has to have an ISO-639-3 code and it has to be a natural
language; this it is
- A request has to be made on Meta
- An incubator project has to be started and it needs a few hundred
articles of sufficient size that allow an expert to appreciate that it is
indeed the language it is said to be
- A request for a new language has to be made at at
translatewiki.net
- The most used MediaWiki messages need to be localised at
translatewiki.net
What will make a big practical difference is when technical expertise is
provided for the creation of an applicable keyboard mapping or WebFonts.
Marathi and Nepali both use Devanagari but the rules for combining things
is different from for instance Hindi. The best place for this is by
creating a language support team for Ahirani.
Thanks,
Gerard

Hi,
I am Deepak Sapkale, 27 year old software engineer, currently working at L
& T Infotech. I had attended Wiki Conference India 2011 and was really
inspired to create new language which is spoken in my native town. The
language is called "Ahirani" . The script of Ahirani is "Devanagari"
which
used for Hindi and Marathi languages.
Please advise me, how can I proceed with this one.
Regards,
Deepak Sapkale
