When you ask for help for starting "your own" Wikipedia, it has to be understood what the language context is. When people say our language is different, it does not automatically follow that their assessment is accepted for instance, there are differences between the many flavours of Spanish, English, Portuguese and we do not consider the difference enough reason to start another Wikipedia project for flavours of those languages.
And it's important to keep in mind: the reason we have 200+ Wikipedias is only mutual incomprehensibility, so as to serve the readers. There are occasional stupidities like having four Wikipedias for Serbo-Croatian, but they remain examples of how not to do it rather than reasons to perpetuate unnecessary multiplication of Wikipedias.
