And the current Incubator is indeed mostly written in the Warang Citi
script: 5 pages in Devanagri and 48 in Warang Citi.

Ok, will do.
Also, your link below to the 'request a new language'-page on
translatewiki does not work. There seems to be an obligatory period at the
end as part of the link. [1]
Finally, looking at Ho language's page list on Incubator [2], I find most
pages in an unrecognised script whereas [hoc-deva] seems to be just a
handful. Or am I misinterpreting what I see on my screen?
I'll keep you posted once I get a reply.

Ah, curious. Could you perhaps also ask whether there are any websites in
Ho at all? Or would Wikipedia be the first one?

I had written to a linguist contact with connections to a Ho literacy and
translation project. Interestingly enough, all work and publications of
that project is written in the Odia / Oriya script [1], i.e. in neither of
the three mentioned so far. I've been put in contact with a Ho person on
that project's staff and hope to receive more information about scope and
target group of those publications and their acceptability.
Fwiw,

Hi,
There is a proposal to add support for the Ho language to transaltewiki:
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Request_to_
start_a_new_language.
It is for now not implemented, and the explanation is that the request is
to do it in the Warang Citi writing system, and Ethnologue says that it is
"no longer in use". I strongly suspect that Ethnologue is not quite correct
on this matter, because there are three sources that contradict it:
* the encoding proposal by Michael Everson
* the page at Scriptsource to which Ethnologue itself links
* an article by Norman Zide, linked from Scriptsource
I have no direct knowledge of this language, but the sources above seem
more convincing to me than Ethnologue itself.
The remaining question, however, is whether we should add more than one
variant for this language (hoc-wara, hoc-deva, and perhaps hoc-latn) or
should it be just hoc, and assumed to be written in Warang Citi?
Thanks!
