[Foundation-l] Language subcommittee vs Montenegrin language - show time over again

[Sabine Cretella]

Brianna: I was talking about American English/British English, the 
Chinese scripts on one zh.wikipedia, German German/Austrian German/Swiss 
German/South Tyrol German, European Spanish/various South American 
Spanish varieties etc. and these varieties are quite different depending 
on their different development.

In many cases, in the past, Wikipedias were created that could have 
co-existed and co-operated on one Wikipedia. Now: we are not talking 
about what was, but what is going to be. So if there is such a 
similarity that it makes sense to co-operate and not multiply wikipedias 
that is the way to go.

Just saw that Gerard answered something similar ... well, so no need to 
go ahead and duplicate things said :-)

Ciao, Sabine
