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 first batch of the letter M. == Magahi == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Magahi Code: mag My take: Eligible. == Maguindanaon == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Maguindanaon Code: mdh My take: Eligible. == Makassar Malay == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Makassar_Malay Code: mfp My take: Don't know. In the discussion, there are some people who say that it's perhaps the same as Malay (ms), but there are other opinions, too. It's also unclear whether this language is written anywhere at all. This reminds me of the situation with Hejazi (acw), which I mentioned in the email about the letter H. == Makhuwa == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Makhuwa Code: vmw My take: Eligible. == Mampruli == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Mampruli Code: maw My take: Eligible. I've recently been in contact with a Wikipedian who knows it and is interested in contributing to it. == Manado Malay == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Manado_Malay Code: xmm My take: Probably eligible. As with Makassar Malay, it's hard to say how unique it is. For what it's worth, Ethnologue says that there's dictionary, grammar, and New Testament translation, and the digital status is "Ascending". The Incubator has quite a lot of pages, too. Any other opinions? == Manobo == Request: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Manobo Code: mbb My take: Delete unless the request creator replies at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Qzxpqbp#Request_for_Wikipedia_Manobo -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
