I think the difference between this case and the "Romanized Persian" situation is that in the "Romanized Persian" case, there is already an active, solid project in Persian. Thus, anyone wanting to create this project has to work through the Persian Wikipedia community to make this happen. In the case of Khorasani Turkic, there is nothing else created in this language. And the language is inherently eligible. So I think by policy I need to mark it eligible. By the time it comes to approve the project, if ever, one of the following will have happened:
* Because the general script of the language is Perso-Arabic, people will have come along and changed the content to that script. * That doesn't happen, but there is evidence of a community that will make use of the project in Latin script. * Some combination of the above, where they will have worked out a modus vivendi between the two while the test is still in Incubator. For that reason, I'm not too worried about marking it "eligible".

It is not a hobby.
