Hoi, Singlish was denied in the past.. I do not know why you would suggest Singlish in the first place. It is not recognised as a language, it has the status of "invented" language, it does not have the same notability as Ido Interlingua Esperanto ..

Hoi, People can always start on the Incubator and show that they have what it takes. The notion of the Incubator is that by working on the Incubator there will be something that will indicate that it is just a flash in the pan.. Someone saying: "Would it not be nice" and then doing nothing. We have asked Brion to include the "BetaWiki" functionality so that people can start on the localisation of that language and for all projects to maintain the localisation of MediaWiki on a MediaWiki server. Brion indicated that it can get on his "to do" list after release 1.9 (done) and SUL (his current priority). When the language files are ALWAYS generated for new languages, we will not get the sad situation of the Marathi projects where the localisation is said to be overwritten with new releases. Localisation will be done at Incubator and, new messages once translated there can be exported to at least all the Wikimedia Foundation projects. External projects will benefit with new releases.. :) For languages that do not have an ISO-639 code, the notion of granting a project is problematic. We hope to announce within the month much of the content that is in the ISO-CD-639-6 AND a procedure in which you will be able to get recognition under the standard that is being worked on. NB this standard will have some 25.000 linguistic entities to start off with and many of them are spoken only or signed languages.

From that discussion, it appears that most opposed Chinglish, but Singlish had considerable support. With several million native speakers, Singlish has its own unique grammar and vocabulary.
