This is not quite correct. It's very hard, but possible. But Wikimedia alone cannot do it. Wikimedia can be one of the tools that are used by the cultural elite, which Milos brought up. Each of these languages needs people like [[Pompeu Fabra]] and [[Vuk Stefanović Karadžić]] and, dare I say, [[Eliezer Ben-Yehuda]]. That's the sine qua non. Wikimedia is just a tool - a very important one, but not the main one.
