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".
Best,
Olatunde Isaac.

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,
