This is quite an interesting project. Still going through it to share feedback. I wonder if you have thought of languages that are only spoken and not written. That's how the majority of the world's languages are. Secondly, languages that are written in a writing system other than Latin. A wide number of written languages are written in various scripts. But I guess that's quite possible since you plan to use the Wikimedia infrastructure. Is there any Abstract Wikipedia integration?
