Re: [Wikipedia-l] Request for Romany Wikipedia

Hi, I would like to request the creation of a Wikipedia in the Romany language, with the code "rom", the request having already been approved over at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Requests_for_new_languages/Vlax_Rom… There is a test Wikipedia at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Test-wp/rom/ This currently contains 14 articles, some written in the Latin alphabet and some in Devanagari. The Wikipedia will be biscriptal, with conversion being possible 1-on-1, but this will be implemented automatically later on. The interface file is at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LanguageRom.php The test Wikipedia is also linked from the Wikimedia Romania portal, at: http://www.wikimedia.ro/ So, it would be time to set up an actual Wikipedia in this language, which is spoken by Roma (Gypsy) people, and has around 250,000 speakers in Romania and more than 1.5 million worldwide. The Roma are the largest minority in Europe, and the largest language in Europe without a Wikipedia. Thanks, Ronline _______________________________________________ Wikipedia-l mailing list Wikipedia-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikipedia-l
