[edit] 閩南語 Wikipedia

Language: 閩南語 (Ban-lam-gu) written with Han characters For information about this language: [1] [2] [3] Details of standard character set: [4]

ISO 639: zh-nan

Project type: Wikipedia (A Wikipedia page already exists for zh-nan, but is written using POJ romanisation, which is known and understood by only a very small number of Ban-lam (Hokkien/Taiwanese) speakers.)


Main page in 閩南語: 頭頁

--Voxmundi 04:23, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

There is only one Wikipedia per code allowed, see http://nan.wikipedia.org/ SPQRobin 10:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

I know that Wikipedia sites are supposed to have their own ISO codes, however, I note that there are a number of exceptions. I think that Hokkien/Taiwanese written with Han characters would be a good candidate for special treatment, especially as it is an important language being used by c. 50,000,000 people, the vast majority of whom are taught to read and write with Han characters. Indeed, there is a degree of digraphia in Ban-lam today, with a division between Han characters and romanisation (not just POJ, but also TLPA, Tai-lo, Tongyong Pinyin and many others). It seems quite important in current circumstances to maintain two sites as the majority of Ban-lam speakers do not understand POJ, whilst others do not understand Han characters.

There are exceptions, but that is no longer allowed by the current policy. If you want an existing language in another script/alphabet, it should use a conversion script. And btw, is it about the language of zh-min-nan:, or about Wp/nan. SPQRobin 16:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
If this is really about the existing Wikipedia in just another script, the best way to go would be a script conversion indeed. But, if I am no totally mistaken, a conversion script would have to be something line a complete bidirectionally linked word list in either script plus some non-trivial grammatical analysis, so as to fix ambiguities. While this might be a wonderful task for more thorough academic treatment, it is imho not likely to be had any time too soon. So, for the time being, we might have to find an interim solution. I cannot tell whether or not zh-Hans or zh-Hant overlap to a degree with nan-Hans or nan-Hant, respectively, which would rule out an extra Wikipedia. If there is no such huge overlap, there should however be a workable strategy avoiding too much duplication between the nan-Latn, and the nan-Han(s/t) Wikipediæ, imho. --Purodha 14:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
A conversion script is not a long list of words, but of letters of the two (or more?) alphabets, see e.g. the conversion script of Serbian. A conversion script however, works only if the each letter has only one corresponding letter in the other alphabet (afaik). SPQRobin 17:43, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

You started it already at Wn/ms and Wn/ms/Laman Utama :-) And to ask to open this wiki, make a request at Meta. For more information, see Help:Manual. Thank you, SPQRobin 17:18, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Simple French Wikipedia

français simple, Wikipedia. Main Page: Accueil. I think the method of easy english would be good with french, too. --Übersetzer f,e,d 13:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Übersetzer f,e,d

I believe this has no ISO code... --MF-W {a, b} 13:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
X mark.svg Not done Indeed, simple versions of languages aren't included in the official ISO codes. Sorry. SPQRobin 15:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Zuñi Wikipedia

Request

  • Proposed Project: Wikipedia
  • Language: Zuni/Zuñi/Shiwi'ma (zun ISO 639-3)
  • Other Wikimedia Project: it will be zun.wikipedia.org
  • wp/zun/Iiquanik'eenona Łashhi

  • Other Wikimedia Project: it will be akz.wikipedia.org
  • wp/akz/Láhwa iⁿfakopli

--Ulohnanne 12:57, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Good, I created Wp/zun and wp/akz. Btw, are you a native or fluent speaker? SPQRobin 15:09, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I am nearly native Alabama and I speak little bit Zuñi.

--Ulohnanne 16:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Very good! Wonderful to have a nearly native speaker of Alabama here ;-) So maybe it's good to concentrate on Alabama. I'll give more information on your talk page. SPQRobin 16:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

You are right that I was planning more time for Alabama!

[edit] Hainanese Wikipedia

Request

  • Proposed Project: Wikipedia
  • Language: Hainanese [hnl (proposed) ISO 639-3]
  • Test project: wp/hnl

Although Hainanese is currently assigned the ISO code of "nan", it actually has very low intelligibility, if at all, with Teochew and the current Minnan edition which is based on the Xiamen dialect. An application for the ISO code "hnl" will be made to SIL International soon. --Jose77 08:07, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Please only start a test project when the code has been created. I have deleted the page because it didn't contain any important content. Thanks. SPQRobin 13:08, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Budelberger created this test at Wp/adh. --MF-W {a, b} 16:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Oui, moi aussi je vous aime ; on my behalf, cette fois ; je vous embrasse, en moins de 40 minutes. --Budelberger 17:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC) (Flag of France.svg).
Sorry, Errare humanum est, in errore perseverare stultum.; it looked like you made that edit (thanks to SPQRobin who pointed it out so I could correct it!). --MF-W {a, b} 18:11, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] a request to start a new project

Dear Administrator I would like to start a new Lebanese project that would include information and articles about the culture, history, geography, politics, etc., please help me achieve this project with the information needed. The requested name should appear this way : leb.wikipedia.org

here is a link to some information about lebanon : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon

Thanks for your help

Walid Marmar

walidmarmaratgmail.com

A wikipedia is not an encyclopedia about a country or a culture but an encyclopedia in some language ; here is a project in Syro-Lebanese Arabic: Wp/apc. --Budelberger 03:05, 10 February 2009 (UTC) (Flag of France.svg).

[edit] Cajun French Wiktionary

Request

I would like to start this so I can slowly build up my knowledge of the language. I currently only speak a little bit of it (but I have a dictionary and grammar guide). When I think my knowledge is good enough to start writing pages for the Wikipedia, I can switch or (if I like working on the Wiktionary) do both. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I'd recommend not to start this test, because the langcom requires native speakers of this language. And there is already wp/frc where you can work. But if you really want to start wt/frc, you can create it. SPQRobin 19:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
As I've already said, I'm not going to propose this test to the langcom (at least not yet). I'll start it later on today. It's a little bit too early now :) --Ooswesthoesbes 05:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Kabyle Wikidictionary

Thank you, I would like to create this project to protect my language from the disappearance and to help other users learn Kabyle.

--Berkus Tiwal 19:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Berkus Tiwal Arut taqbaylit-nwen a leqbayel

I have created Wt/kab. You can start at Wt/kab/Asebter amenzawi. (And it's Wiktionary, not Wikidictionary.) Greetings, SPQRobin 20:02, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Danish Wikinews

Danish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_language ISO 639: dan Wikinews --Tvup 02:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

A test exists at Wn/da. Note that you have to use "da" and not "dan", like da.wikipedia.org. SPQRobin 13:07, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
