Hoi,
Alemannic is the problem here; it is outside of ISO 639 3 and only exists
because it predates the language policy. In many ways it is the macro
language discussion about inclusion all over again except that Alemannic is
.. different.
Thanks,
GerardM

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/Wikipedia_Swabian>:
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/Wikipedia_Manchu_2>
(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/Wikipedia_Kutchi>:
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/Wikipedia_Kumaoni>:
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.
