I promised I was going to keep old project requests moving along after the new year. So
here are four:
Wikipedia
Swabian<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikip…an>:
Propose to reject. Although it has a language code, Swabian is already included within
Alemannic Wikipedia. Starting initial seven-day clock on this now.
Wikipedia
Manchu<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…
(on hold since March 2010, waiting for native speakers): Marking eligible. This project
has been fairly active on Incubator recently, and the tool to allow the vertical Manchu
script is working very nicely.
Wikipedia
Kutchi<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipe…hi>:
Marking eligible. Has a language code, and about 875,000 speakers in India and Pakistan.
Wikipedia
Kumaoni<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikip…ni>:
Marking as "on hold". In principle, should be eligible. But there is no test
project on Incubator, and most speakers are bilingual in Hindi. (It's not that these
are mutually intelligible languages, just that Hindi is a lingua franca in the area.) So
I'd like to place this on hold until someone comes who is interested in starting the
project.
