Hoi,
it is a recognised language. With enough people supporting a new project,
there is no reason not to have it.
Thanks,

It was proposed in 2015 and has been abandoned for about 2 years, but has
received intermittent attention over the past few years. ISO 639-3 code is
assigned to this language, and there is a test project in Wikimedia
incubator, but there are 5 pages except templates, categories, talkpages,
and modules.
Looking at the discussion, it seems that speakers of this language can
speak Arabic for granted. Arabic speakers seem to perceive this as a
dialect of some sort.
I wonder what you think of this proposal. I think it is appropriate to be
rejected unless evidence is presented that this is not at the level of a
dialect that does not differ to an incomprehensible degree from Arabic.
