Hoi,
You have not explained who this project is targetting. When the editors are
the audience it fails on principles. I disagree that this is an eligible
project.
Thanks,

I think the difference between this case and the
"Romanized Persian"
situation is that in the "Romanized Persian" case, there is already an
active, solid project in Persian. Thus, anyone wanting to create this
project has to work through the Persian Wikipedia community to make this
happen. In the case of Khorasani Turkic, there is nothing else created in
this language. And the language is inherently eligible. So I think by
policy I need to mark it eligible. By the time it comes to approve the
project, if ever, one of the following will have happened:
- Because the general script of the language is Perso-Arabic, people
will have come along and changed the content to that script.
- That doesn't happen, but there is evidence of a community that will
make use of the project in Latin script.
- Some combination of the above, where they will have worked out a *
modus vivendi* between the two while the test is still in Incubator.
For that reason, I'm not too worried about marking it "eligible".

Hoi,
It only makes sense to do so when there is a public. It is not a hobby.
Thanks,

Khorasani Turkic (kmz): In theory, the language ought to be eligible.
But the test
is written in a Romanized form, which neither Ethnologue nor
the enwiki article shows as an ordinary variant. Thoughts?
