Citing is likely to be a challenge. Once I showed some community women in Maree the page for Maree It said her language was extinct. She said it was not. I posted to the talk page that local people did still speak the language. But the source was a living person whereas the extinction was citing a published book. Is there a different kind of wiki project which could accommodate that kind of perspective/source. Is it possible to make articles which are relevant in their relevant languages? Not make a full wikipedia but capture descriptions of communities and places in the relevant language? just a thought j
