Hoi,
The Wallisian langauge (ISO-639-3 wls) 
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=wls is spoken according 
to Ethnologue by some 9617 people. The procedure is first of all to 
propose the new (wikipedia) project on Meta 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages .

Really relevant is the requirement to have people who speak the language 
natively as part of the initial group of people who are interested to 
work on the new project.

Thanks,
    GerardM
