I believe it was noted on the Requests for New Language page that
Baseldytsch is apparently significantly different from Alemannic, and
it has its own unique orthography and literature.
I'm not sure what I think in this case, but I think ultimately, if
Baseldytsch speakers believe a separate Wikipedia is nessecary, we
should let them have it. (if you go to the Ethnologue, some language
entries note that separate literature might be nessecary for some
dialect of the language because the speakers see it as another
language or for other reasons similar to this case)

Could you please check
http://als.wikipedia.org first?
It was started
as a Wikipedia in Elsassisch, but has recently been extended to cover
all Alemannic dialects, to which Baseldytsch also belongs.

Hello dear Wikipedians,
I listed a proposal for a Wikipedia in Baseldytsch (a swiss-german dialect
in Switzerland with its own dictionary and orthography, about one million
speakers; see also
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/
Request_for_new_language). I'm currently translating the interface (http:/
/meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Locales_for_the_Wikipedia_Software), but is there
anyone who can put the Baseldytsch Wikipedia online under the domain http:
//bsd.wikipedia.org/ ??? If yes, please do so! Or send me an e-mail how to
do so. Thank you very much,
CdaMVvWgS
