Hallo! I am going through https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Open_requests_for_new_languages , project by project, letter by letter, up to ten requests per email, one email per day.
I am now working on Wikipedia, and today I'm handling the letter D. == Dangme == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Dangme Code: ada My take: Eligible. There hasn't been any activity since the request, but I happen to know one of the people behind in real life, so I know that this is authentic and not "drive by". == Dobrujan Tatar == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Dobrujan_Tatar Code: none (but crh-ro is used in practice) My take: Not eligible because there's no ISO code, but I have no strong reason to flatly reject it either. The language probably exists—there's an English Wikipedia article about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobrujan_Tatar . I also saw other website about it and in it, and it definitely looks living. It also looks at least culturally distinct from other Turkic languages, and, although I cannot make a judgment about it without consulting a third-party expert, it may be linguistically unique, too. According to the request page, the requester asked ISO for a new code. We can probably wait patiently until that request is processed, so "waiting" looks like a good status in this case. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
