So... This raises several questions.

1. Should this language be added to translatewiki.net? This was requested
some time ago: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Add_
support_for_Western_Armenian_(hym) . This means that it will be possible to
translate MediaWiki into it.

2. I couldn't find a request for a Western Armenian Wikipedia, which is
somewhat surprising :) . The closest thing I can find is
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_
languages/Wikipedia_Homshetsma , which is not the same thing. In any case,
whenever such a request is made, will it be eligible?

I am inclined to answer "yes" to both questions, but with a caveat. I know
very little about the Armenian language. My support is based mainly on
Michael's conclusions of the examination of the differences between Eastern
and Western varieties. However, the documents linked from the first email
in this thread mention the similarity of the situation with Montengrin,
which the committee seems not to support.

If we reject Montenegrin, but support Western Armenian, we'll have to
explain it.
