I have re-opened the request for their own language project. The Cree
Wikipedia was a good temporary solution but they really require their own
project as the language is different.
Thanks,
JP

Great! I've made the project request eligible.
I saw your comment from 2013 [1], so I wanted to know if they moved to
Cree Wikipedia or the request for the Wikipedia in their language
should be proceeded.
[1] The Atikamekw language is already included in the Cree Wikipedia,
see
cr.wikipedia.org. We recently updated the main page to reflect the
different languages that are part of the Cree language family (cr is
in fact an ISO code for a macro-language which includes atj). There is
currently no article in Atikamekw on this Wikipedia, most being in
Eastern Cree right now. Please come discuss with me, or leave a
message right on the Cree Wikipedia to know how to contribute in
Atikamekw. I don't think this is a good idea to divide those in many
different Wikipedias. That being said, I agree that we need to make it
more simple to indicate the language/dialect of each article on the
Cree Wikipedia, and updating the main page was the first step in that
direction. We are currently cleaning the existing articles to sort
them out. Right now is the good time to join and build the Atikamekw
section of this Wikipedia. Thanks and don't hesitate to send me a
message if you have any question. I also speak French if you prefer.

I do not know what you require exactly. The
Atikamekw community is
developing a Wikipedia on their language in the Incubator and Wikipedia
in
their language is used in at least one of their
schools. A
techno-linguiat
from one of the communities is overseeing the
Wikipedia in the Incubator
to
make sure its real and standardized Atikamekw
language, he is also named
"language keeper" of the community. The translation of the most used
messages of MediaWiki is ongoing. The Conseil de la Nation Atikamekw
(CNA)
is involved and supports the project. The CNA is
the council "federating"
(for lack of a better term) all Atikamekw communities. The CNA also
encompasses the Institut de la langue Atikamekw (ILA) that was
responsible
to standardize the language and they are also
currently in the
production of
a dictionary.
The language is real and alive. It is used day to day on the three
Atikamekw
communities in Quebec, Canada. It is used as the
only teaching languages
in
two elementary schools. As such, even though most
Atikamekw people also
speak French, it is really only their second language. I have confirmed
that
it is different from Cree and not just a dialect,
they cannot understand
them and vice versa. The language has its own ISO 639 code. There are
experts who can confirm this. I can put you in contact with a techno
linguist at the ILA. A linguist from the university of Leipzig is also
involved in the project.
At this point I think the language should be marked as eligible. The
project
in the Incubator is not to be approved as it does
not meet the
requirements
yet, but the language is definitely eligible in
my opinion.
Thank you,
