I'd like to request that you take one of the following approaches if creating Zapotec projects:

  • Focus on a single project covering all parts of the Macrolanguage at Wp/zap, and move everything else (for example, Wp/zai) under it.
  • Keep your projects separate, and don't put anything at all at Wp/zap. (I'll create a macrolanguage disambiguation page there.)

Please let me know how you would like to proceed. StevenJ81 (talk) 19:24, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Steven

What I want to do is to create a portal for the zapoteco macrolengua subdivided in its variations, as has done Huiquipedia. The Zapoteco is a unique language that should not be seen as fragmented.--Zapoteco diiste (talk) 21:49, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There's someone who feels exactly the opposite about Huiquipedia, as you may know. That person and you are the top two contributors to Wp/zai, too.
The general question is this: Are these languages mutually intelligible? (That is, can speakers of one understand the other?) Are the written versions of the language substantially the same, or are they different? StevenJ81 (talk) 21:49, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I started contributing in wp/zai thinking that it was difficult to open a new version in my variant (zapoteco of miahuatlan ISO zam). Then I saw that opening a trial version was simpler and I do not want to leave out the other variations. There are 62 variants of the Zapoteco, of which only groups of 5 can be understood in 80%. If the variants are separated they will never be able to leave the incubator, never, because they do not have many speakers (in my variant we are only 4,000 speakers). I believe that having a single project, with the variants very well classified can attract the attention of 400,000 speakers of this language--Zapoteco diiste (talk) 22:47, 11 May 2017 (UTC).[reply]

Request at Meta-Wiki or not?[edit source]

I saw that you're contributing Zapotec Wikipedia, but it hasn't request page, would you please file a request at Meta-Wiki (just click create button on Wp/zap)? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 11:39, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
