I would like to apply for a Wikipedia in Saterlandic (East) Frisian. Further details can be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saterlandic_Frisian_language and soon at the requests page.
I believe you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saterland_Frisian_language.
For the purposes of ISO 639 codes, Saterland Frisian is regarded as a dialect of Frisian. Can you provide a rationale for why working within the Frisian Wikipedia is not tenable?
I seem to recall reading that there were different spelling conventions for the Frisian spoken in Germany and that spoken in the Netherlands. I have no idea how significant these differences are.
