Summary: cancel Russian as the fallback language for kbd and
ady
Product: MediaWiki
Version: wikimedia-deployment
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: Internationalization

Adyghe (ady) and Kabardian (kbd) are spoken by different groups of Circassians
in Russia, Turkey, Israel and other countries. Russian is useful as a fallback
language for Circassians in Russia, but it is useless for Circassians in other
countries; It's more likely that they know English and not Russian.
I discussed this with User:Богупс (Bogups), the main editor of the Incubator of
the Kabardian Wikipedia, and he agreed that it should be done, even though he
doesn't know English so well himself. (See
http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%B3%D1%83%D0%BF%D1%81#Fallback_language
; it's in Russian.)
It is also possible to make ady and kbd each other's fallback languages,
because they are closely related and at least partly mutually intelligible.
For the record, it would be much better to allow users select their own
fallback languages, as Bug 11267 suggests.
