I agree with Marcos and thanks for your comment, Masssly. I actually know little or nothing about Yugur. My bad!

New languages are started in the incubator and the process is not strict at all once its still incubating. And “find such editors [from] the Village pump? I don't think that's what the village pump is meant for.
So yes, just go ahead and start a test Wikipedia of your language in the incubator if that's what your enquiry is about, then look for people to help you develop it.
Good luck

Marcos, what information are you talking about? Did I gave any contrary information? Based on the language proposal policy, there are basic requirement that must be met to request a new language Wikipedia and one of the requirements is that the proposal must have sufficient number of native speakers of the language to form a viable community and audience. On this note, it is important to seek for editors who are willing to help in building such community and one of the places you can find such editors is the "Village pump".

Not sure where Olatunde's information comes from, but there is a process to request a Wikipedia in a new language.
https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages
Be advised that if you are not a native speaker and you're the only contributor, your chances of approval are slim to none. I recommend you find native speakers and gather a group of people who will contribute to the project together. You may start a test Wikipedia on the incubator, http://incubator.wikimedia.org/

So now can I create (myself) the Wikipedia? Or what I have to do ? And as Western Yugur has no official writing, can I propose a Turkic based latin script ?

Excepted me, I don't know anyone who speak this language. As regards to
me, I'm a native turkish speaker so it's not exceptionally hard for me to learn this language. Right know I'n studying it.
But I never created Wikipedia pages. So can you help me for the
creation's procedures ?

I write you in order to request for the creation of a Wikipedia in the
Western Yugur language.
Here is some informations about this language :
Western Yugur (ISO 639-3 ybe) is a turkic language which belongs to the
Siberian branch of those language. Spoken by about 4,600 persons (2007) in the province of Gansu in China, the Western Yugur is considered as seriously in danger. Furthermore this language have no official alphabet.
So I, as a passionate amateur linguist and polyglot, propose, in order
to "save" (or at least contribute at this language), to create a Wikipedia in Western Yugur.

This sounds very interesting. Do you know any active and experienced
Wikimedian who speaks this language?

I'm an English-speaking editor and may not be able to help in your
preferred Language. Let me know, if there are other ways I can help.
