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.
