[edit] Arguments in favour

  • Support: I can't find a single site on the internet written in Brahui. Wikipedia will be the first, and therefore provide a much needed area for the preservation of this peculiar language. --92.8.217.70 11:13, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Support: Native speakers of Brahui have the competency and willingness to contribute to this project in the long-term. Hence the Brahui language deserves to be given the opportunity and priviledge to have its own language edition of Wikipedia along with the existing Dravidian languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. --Jose77 02:10, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
  • Support: Have recently gained attention (User:Bangulzai & User:Imdadb are creating articles and traslating the interface pretty well).--Kanon6996 17:29, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
  • Support Support Chabi 06:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
  • Support Incubator has many voluminous and goodly formatted articles. --ɴõɴəχүsƚ 10:04, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
  • Support I being a Pakistani language Wikipedias Administrator strongly recommend the project of Brahui Language Wikipedia and offer my services for this project. --Rehmat Aziz Chitrali Editor Khowar Wikipedia 10:04, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Support only. --Midnight Green 07:46, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
  • support, indian language versions are all quick successesLuciferwildcat (talk) 03:30, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

[edit] Other discussion

No start has been made with the compulsory localisation of the "most often used" messages at translatewiki.net. Thanks, GerardM 11:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Brahui can be written in the Arabic script (but difficult to type on keyboard) and the Latin script. Nevertheless, if these statements by native Brahui speakers are true, then perhaps the Latin script would be more convenient. Should both scripts be localised or just the latin one? --Jose77 07:55, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
