Hoi,
By all means start a project at the Incubator. Given that you have a first
person interest in starting this project; you know the language and you want
to collaborate to it, you will find it to becomes eligible.
So I do invite you to request a language on Meta.
Thanks,
GerardM
PS As to Mr Budelberger, he wastes peoples time by proposing languages that
he does not know and cannot support thereby wasting the time of people who
support actively supported languages.

Dear GerardM
Moi, je dirais pas ça.
excuseme because I didn't replay your message
before.
Thank you for your attention.
Surely I will need your (and of others) cooperation in the next months.
Pourquoi attendre les « next months » ?…

Cher Monsieur,
Voilà, c'est fait : rendez-vous à <
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/kgp>gt;.
Si vous me permettez deux conseils :
° Commencez par traduire la page principale (en commençant par son nom :
« Main Page »…) en kanhgág (et en portugais), en plus du texte standard
anglais.
° Ne déposez pas pour l'instant sur Meta de « request for new languages » ;
là-bas, il n'y a que des affreux – the Uglies – aussi ignorants
qu'arrogants –
« IGNARROGANTS » – ; ça leur enlèvera le plaisir de vous rembarrer, à
ces haïsseurs de langues.
Si vous le souhaitez, je peux vous faire part, mais plutôt en privé,
hein ?,
histoire de faire bisquer les Ugliz, d'autres conseils, basés sur mon
expérience
des Wikipedia actives et inactives et de l'Incubator.
Budelberger, Richard.

I await your comments.
