The [[Wikimedia Foundation]] aims to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge in many different languages. Currently, wikis have been created in almost 200 languages. If you would like to work in a language that does not yet have a wiki, you may request it here.

There are several steps to follow if you would like to create a new language [[Wikipedia]], [[Wiktionary]], [[Wikibooks]] or [[Wikiquote]]. The [[Wikimedia Commons]] and [[Wikispecies]] are multi-lingual projects, meaning that there are no separate editions for individual languages. The [[Wikisource]] project also has many languages within one domain, but does have a subdomain set-up for Hebrew and decided to have more language domains created. Current attitudes at Wikisource regarding this policy are monitored at Wikisource's [[:wikisource:Wikisource:Language domain requests|Language domain requests]] page.
COIBot reported 1 links.

<!--#Check the [[policy for wikis in new languages]] to see if your proposed language meets the policy.-->
#Peruse the [[complete list of Wikimedia projects]]. If the language you are looking for is not listed, look for very similar languages. Your proposed language must be sufficiently different, in its written form, from any other already-created language.
#You '''must''' have an account here on the [[Meta]] wiki.
#Copy and paste the [[#Template|template]] to the [[#New proposals|new proposals]] section.
#Find the [http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html ISO code] or [[#What do I do if there is no ISO code for my language?|propose a code for your language]].
#Fill in '''all''' fields in the template.
#If many potential contributors to your language's wiki are likely to speak a different language that already has a wiki, try and drum up support at a community discussion area on that wiki. Encourage anyone who wants to contribute to your proposed language to come to this page and add their support for your proposal.
#If there is a consensus to create a wiki in your proposed language, send a message to the appropriate [[mailing list]] asking a developer to set up the wiki.
#Be patient, as our [[developer]]s are very busy volunteers. You may work on articles, interface files and help or instruction pages using an offline word processor so that you can quickly get your new wiki going. You may want to look at the [[List of articles all languages should have]].

==FAQ==

What do I do if there is no ISO code for my language?
:<!--Instead of using an official ISO code, you may propose a new code or use an ISO code that is assigned to a language family (such as ''mno'', which is intended for [[:en:Manobo languages|Manobo languages]] that do not have their own code. Do not propose a code that is two or three letters long, as that may conflict with an ISO code, either now or in the future. Some examples of accepted codes include: ''zh-min-nan'' for the Southern Min wiki and ''roa-rup'' for the Aromanian wiki. You may want to check IANA's [http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tags/ list of codes] to see if your language is listed there.--><!-- draft : If there is no * [http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/englangn.html ISO] (ang) * RFC 3066 (en-us) * [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-tags IANA] (zh-min-nan) code for the language you propose, you may create a code * whith more than 4 letters (simple for Simple English wikipedia) * begnniing with an ISO code that is assigned to a language family and ending with what? (roa-rup for the Aromanian wikipdedia)--> If there is no standard code (no [http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/langhome.html ISO code] nor [http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-tags IANA code]) for the language you propose, don't worry. Just type "none" in the field.

How do I know if my language is sufficiently different from a language that already has a wiki?
:This is an issue that is decided by consensus.

Can there be wikis in ancient languages?
:Yes. There are already wikis available in [[:en:Latin language|Latin]], [[:en:Old English|Old English]], [[:en:Gothic language|Gothic]] and [[:en:Pali|Pali]].
:Please add new requests for wikis in ancient languages to [[Requests for new languages/Ancient]].

Can there be wikis in artificial languages?
:Yes. There are already wikis available in [[:en:Esperanto language|Esperanto]], [[:en:Ido language|Ido]], [[:en:Interlingua|Interlingua]], [[:en:Occidental language|Interlingue]], [[:en:Lojban|Lojban]] There used to be a [[:en:Toki Pona|Toki Pona]] wiki, but it was decided that the Toki Pona language was not used widely enough to support a wiki.

'''However''', it is quite possible that a fictional language will get little favor. Many consider the existence of the [[:en:Klingon language|Klingon]] Wikipedia to be unacceptable. There is currently a proposal to shut it down (See also [[Talk:Requests for new languages#Klingon|Talk page]]).

Please place all new requests for Wikipedias in artificial languages at [[Requests for new languages/Non-natural]].

How many speakers are necessary?
:No language has ever been refused ''solely'' because of an insufficient number of speakers. For natural languages, this will probably never be an issue; for artificial languages, however, a low number of speakers may be taken as evidence that the language is not widely spoken enough to deserve a wiki.
:The actual number of users who know the language and work on the wiki is an important issue, but it is not known how many are necessary for a wiki to gain momentum and solid growth. The dedication of the users may be more important than the number, since a few devoted users may write more, and higher quality, articles than a larger number of casual users.

*Notes/comments:
*'''Test-Wikipedia: [[Test-WP/udm]]'''
**I'm interested to develop Udmurt wikipedia but there are some strong technical problems still not resolved: namely, the problem concerning presentation/mispresentation of specifical Udmurt Unicode characters from Extended Cyrillic (they are omitted in such popular fonts as Times New Roman, Arial, Verdana and so on... then I don't know how to solve this problem... Can anybody give me some related advices? [[User:Denis Sacharnych|Denis Sacharnych]] 14:11, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
*** '''ATTENTION! ''' The most of Cyrillic languages of Russia has no font support! The best variant is used in Chuvash Wikipedia: [[cv:MediaWiki:Monobook.css]] Could this code be loaded to all listed wikis (exclude Crimean Tatar)? Also about the interface files. For the most of listed files Russian files should be loaded. They are also should be loaded to Kyrghyz, Kazakh, Komi, Avar, Kumyk, Chechen, Mari, Chuvash, Bashkir, Abkhazian wikis, as it was done for Ossetic, Turkish file for Crimean Tatar. --[[User:Untifler|Untifler]] 15:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
***It's probably, that Udmurt keyboard is't created yet, or it is not popular. Something like [[cv:MediaWiki:Copyrightwarning]] could be used.
**** Thanks for the links, they seems to be '''very''' useful! About keyboard drivers: I use an Udmurt keyboard driver (with Unicode-support) made by myself, but the most preferred variant for wiki-developers would be IMHO an on-line keyboard emulator (written in JavaScript).--[[User:Denis Sacharnych|Denis Sacharnych]] 04:53, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
** If the technical issues can be solved and a couple more native speakers are willing to participate I'll be in favor of an Udmurt WP. [[User:Arbeo|Arbeo]] 12:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

**Creole language native to the black population of the Dutch Layward Islands, based on Spanish and Portuguese, with a heavy influence of Dutch.
**Just 100,000 speakers? There seem to live 150,000 people on Curaçao, 100,000 on Aruba and 10,000 on Bonaire. With 80% of those speaking Papiamentu and some 150,000 more in the Netherlands, you get as many as 350,000 speakers. [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 09:08, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***According to http://www.worldlanguage.com/Languages/Papiamento.htm there are about 200,000 and this is probably a very cautious ''estimate''. Considering folks who've emigrated from the islands and can speak it the number is probably around 300,000+ I would think. [[en:User:ILVI|Jay Bowks]]
** I used to know someone who spoke papiamento even :-) Sounds like a good plan. [[:en:User:Kim Bruning]]

==== Sorbian (7)====
* Link to request on mailing list:
* ISO code: hsb (Upper), dsb (Lower)
* People interested joining:
* Relevant links: [[en:Sorbian languages]] [[de:Sorbische Sprache]]
* Notes/comments: In fact, there are two very similar sorbic laguages, see article in Wikipedia.
* Number of speakers: 60 thousand in Germany + an unquantified number in a part of Texas, USA
** First: sign your posts, please. Second: both Upper and Lower Sorbian are standardised languages. We should not create one Wikipedia for both of them. Better point this request at Upper Sorbian, having much more speakers, particularly among the young (Lower Sorbian is seriously endangered), or consider requesting two Wikipedias, for both languages. [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 10:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*** If sorbian wikipedias should be created (an idea which I strongly support) then it should have BOTH as a lower-sorbian wikipedia could stop the endangerous situation of the language! [[User:Tiontai|Tiontai]] 20:07, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** A Wikipedia is not enough to stop a language being endangered, but it can be very useful. However, contributors must be found for both of them, and I think it will be quite difficult to find enough willing contributors for both Upper and Lower Sorbian. Upper Sorbian has the priority, imo, because it is more likely to generate a real encyclopaedia than Lower Sorbian. In other words: if the Upper Sorbian Wikipedia succeeds we can think of creating a Lower Sorbian one. [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 23:21, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC) <small>you are right. --[[User:Dundak|Dundak]] 09:56, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)</small>
** So I will ask some sorbians to create a wikipedia or to push the idea of an wikipedia like this.
[[User:Tiontai|Tiontai]] 05:44, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Comments: There were some attempts to translate the UI [[LanguageHsb.php]], the file seems to be outdated, so I worked on [[User:Dundak/LanguageHsb.php]], but the interest in this project seems to be rather low-level. I mean, let's have some people together first, then think about setting up a new WP. --[[User:Dundak|Dundak]] 09:03, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** I tried to update [[User:Michawiki|Language Hsb]] for Upper Sorbian based upon Mediawiki 1.5 beta3. --Michawiki (formerly mwjelk) 20 Jul 2005
** I '''support''' the creation of Sorbian Wikipedia. This culture and languages are endangered and Wikipedia might help preserving it. [[User:Kpjas|Kpjas]] 07:56, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
** '''Support'''. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 09:13, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
*** One comment: Is it possible to find some rules between hsb and dsb orthographies? If it is possible, then we can make one Sorbian Wikipedia with hsb and dsb interface! This can be very important because there are no a lot of Sorbians and it would be reasonable that they work together. If it is not possible, then we need two Wikipedias: hsb and dsb! --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 12:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
** '''Strong support'''. As a matter of fact, I am puzzled by the fact that there is no Wikipedia in either Upper or Lower Sorbian by now. There shouldn't be any major problems with finding contributors in Upper Sorbian. There are functioning (and developing) Wikipedias in languages that have a much smaller speaker base. Furthermore, the majority of Sorbians receive education in Sorbian and that is a great advantage in working on a Wikipedia when compared to some other minority languages. In my opinion, once there is a success with Wikipedia in Upper Sorbian, also a Lower Sorbian version should be created. I'm not a Sorbian speaker, but with dictionaries can understand almost everything and I would be willing to contribute '''to some very, very limited extent''' (interwiki, illustrating, etc). [[User:UCZK|UCZK]] 19:10, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
** '''support''' - but I won't be able to actively contribute in Sorbian, so I offer only technical help. / [[user:tsca|tsca]] [[user talk:tsca|✉]] 19:28, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
**'''Support'''. Although the community could be small, there's no reason why not. After all, I'm sure it will pass some wikipedias that have an article or two. --[[User:Dungodung|Dungodung]] 13:16, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
** I think, that great philosopher Laibnitz would be very pleаsеd to see this development on his native Sorb language. --[[User:194.106.189.159|194.106.189.159]] 13:55, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
** '''Support'''. Why not --[[User:Sasa Stefanovic|Sasa Stefanovic]] 18:29, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
** '''Strong support'''. Sorbian Wikipedia(s) should be created! Maybe creating of a Sorbian test Wiki will help to start. --[[User:Võrok|Võrok]] 06:25, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

**Roughly the same objection as above, although Gronings is spoken more widely and is more different from other Low Saxon dialect groups than Stellingwervish is.

====Slovio (2)====
*International Slavic language
*Comments:
**I love this language (it's refreshing to see such a complete non-Romance IAL), but would it have enough supporters with Internet access? If we can get at least five people willing to write for it, I'd support this one. [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 02:01, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
**'''Support''' a Slovio-Wiki and promoted the Idea on the german wikipedia. [[User:Tiontai|Tiontai]] 12:11, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
** I also love Slovio (see [[Slavopedia]]) and I can see a great potential in this auxillary language but I am '''against''' a Slovio Wikipedia in this phase of its development:
*** the language has not been stabilized yet - no formal final wordbase or grammar rules
****(A minor note: Slovio is stable enough for an [http://www.roachhost.com/tim/ English-to-Slovio automatic translator] to be created... [[User:Almafeta|Almafeta]] 23:12, 6 August 2005 (UTC))
*** unknown audience and demand
*** probably very few people who are likely to contribute
*** no Slovio book or Slovio textbook
** [[User:Kpjas|Kpjas]] 22:48, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
** for the time being, anyone interested in developing a Slovio WP can do that within [[Slavopedia]]. Also, you must be aware of the copyright restrictions on Slovio (one may not modify the language and the question of whether expanding the vocabulary is considered a modification is unresolved). / [[user:tsca|tsca]] [[user talk:tsca|✉]] 22:57, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
***Agreed, if the information provided here is correct. It would be like requesting a [[en:Folkspraak|Folkspraak]] Wikipedia in this stage of development. [[User:Caesarion|Caesarion]] 11:42, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
**<s>Support and would work. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 21:06, 5 August 2005 (UTC)</s> I didn't see that Kpjas and others are against it :) So, don't support. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 07:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
** ''Disapprove''. There is simply no need for such wiki: a slavic-speaking person can use electronic translators to read other-slavic wikipedias comfortably. Slovio is quite primitive and ugly by its nature, and very few will contribute to such wiki, as it will require for them to learn it first. It was designed for non-slavic-speakers to be able to communicate with slavs, but there is no need for it when slavic people can just as easily (or as uneasily) understand each other's native speech (especially written). [[User:Ramir|Ramir]]
*** In general, Slovio has copyright problem (such as Klingon). But, concept of Slovio is very good. For example, even I am by education slavist, it is more easy to me to read Slovio then, for example, Polish (i.e., I need a dictionary for text in Polish, but I don't need anything to read a text in Slovio). (My native language is Serbian.) If [[:en:Mark Hucko|Mark Hucko]] in the future give Slovio in public domain, Slovio Wikipedia would have a sense. --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 01:53, 8 August 2005 (UTC)
**** Milosh, I am strongly convinced that you would find it easier and more enjoyable to read machine-translated Polish Wiki-articles that ones written in (poor) Slovio. Let us discuss alternative ways of inter-Slavic cooperations at [[Slavopedia]]. We should firstly gather a stable community of Wikipedians interested in inter-slavic collaboration, and only then start thinking of doing something big like a Slovio Wikipedia. [[User:Ramir|Ramir]] (русский)
***** You are right about community. I just thought that people agreed to start Slovio Wikipedia (at [[Slavopedia]]) and I supported this idea just because of that. However, as it was not decision, I am not in favor of this idea. (I don't like copyright of Slovio and this is a big problem for me; but, I thought that there were opposite decision :) ) --[[User:Millosh|Millosh]] 20:50, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
*** '''Support'''. Slavic people cannot understand each other in general. I am a slavic native speaker - Czech. I can understand Slovak, but not any other Slavic language. Not even russian - and I have been learning it for 3 years in school as a child. I already forgot it (and was never able to really communicate in russian). However, I can read Slovio without any problems. --[[User:Kyknos|Kyknos]] 23:27, 20 August 2005 (UTC)
**** Hm... I do understand Czech articles when I read them slowly. Allright, it may be just me. But what you need to consider also is how many people will be contributing to a Wikipedia in Slovio. Very few, I reckon. [[User:Ramir|Ramir]] 09:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
***** Good point. I do like the idea of Slovio, it's an interesting project. But I guess practically all speakers of Slavic languages would prefer to both read and write encyclopedia articles in their native languages. Especially since we already have Wikipedias for almost every Slavic language, what would be the actual benefit of a Slovio one? [[User:Arbeo|Arbeo]] 14:03, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

** Good idea, but will it be sufficient for a whole Wikipedia? I mean, I know southtyrolean, and know that it is very far from german standard but does it have words for things besides the daily-life-words? If yes, I would support, even can not really contribute. tiontai.
*The South Tirolian dialects belong to the Bavarian group of the High German language area.

* People interested joining: Proposer maybe, but I already have so much to do.

* Relevant information:
** ISO code: none; proposed domain: gem-bai.wikipedia.org
** App. number of speakers: no less than 17 million
** Locations spoken: Most of Bavaria, Most of Austria, South Tirol
** Closely related languages: High Franconian (including Standard German), Alemannic
** Article in an existing Wikipedia: [[en:Austro-Bavarian]]; [[de:Bairische Sprache]]
** External links to organizations that promote the language:
* Comments:
** Bavarian is closer to standard German than Alemannic is; yet many consider it either a separate language or a coherent cluster of quite independent German dialects. It is never called "Bayrisch" in Austria and South Tirol, where it is referred to as ''Österreichisch'' and ''Südtirolerisch'', respectively. In Bavaria and Austria, Bavarian is almost everyone's native language; even in cities and towns it is used very widely.
*** Hi Caesarion! ''Oiso, i woas ned...'' Bavaria being my adopted country I'm feeling flattered ;-) However, I'm afraid a Wikipedia covering all Bavarian dialects is not feasible. They are just to different to fit within one single encyclopedia. Moreover, they are all part of the German language and only very rarely used in non-fictional writing. Do we really need this one? [[User:Arbeo|Arbeo]] 09:52, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
** Hi Arbeo, we need it as much or little as we need the Alemannic, Limburgic and Plattdütsch Wikipedias. Any speaker can judge whether he thinks a Bavarian Wikipedia is feasible. The borders between ''dialect'' and ''separate language'' are very vague indeed and have become even more so over the past years. While Bavaria is clearly not a separate country, you can't say the same about Bavarian so easily. And while there are indeed many Bavarian dialects this should not be an unsurmountable obstacle for creating a Wikipedia, if there are only a few devoted users willing to coordinate the whole project. And finally, the fact that it is rarely used for non-fictional writing goes for many other languages; just remember for how many of them Wikipedia is the first encyclopaedia that was ever created in that language.

Riau has many dialects. It's can be divided into 2 major group : Riau Pesisir and Riau Daratan. Riau Pesisir very similar with Bahasa Melayu. Bahasa Riau Daratan same as Bahasa Palembang/Jambi and Minangkabau/Bengkulu whereis ended with o, as example kita (Indonesia) -> kite (Melayu) -> kito (Sumatera :Riau,Palembang,Minang). Bahasa Riau similar with Bahasa Minang in change of at to be ek, in ex : tepat (Indonesia) -> topek(Riau) -> tapek (Minang). However Bahasa-bahasa Riau has many word different from Minangkabau, Melayu and Indonesia.
