The High Norwegian language is different from New Norwegian, so I think is it's a good idea at starting a High Norwegian Wikipedia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by M.M.S. (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Arguments in favour
[edit] Arguments against
- Seems to have no valid ISO-code. A two-letter code can't possibly be an iSO 639-2 code. --OosWesThoesBes 19:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- As said above: No valid ISO code according to w:List of ISO 639-1 codes. The above link points to a non-existing Wikipedia article and w:Høgnorsk does not provide an ISO code, either.
- Additionally, the Nynorsk Wikipedia already accepts articles in Høgnorsk, see nn:Kategori:Høgnorske flokkar.
- After all, having three different Norwegian Wikipedias would almost certainly overstretch the resources of a relatively small linguistic community. --Johannes Rohr 09:13, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- No ISO-code. (Anyone who wants to write Wikipedia articles in høgnorsk is welcome to do it in nn.wikipedia, and there is also a høgnorsk wiki at Målflekken, the wiki of Ivar Aasen-sambandet. For reference: Discussion on nn.wikipedia where some høgnorsk users say they think the høgnorsk section on nn.wikipedia is working ok (but has little activity), and a leader (nn:Brukar:Fatagnus) of the w:Ivar Aasen-sambandet says «Eit eige ålment netuppslagsverk (som Wikipedia) på høgnorsk sér eg som heilt urealistiskt.» : 'I see a separate online full encyclopedia (like Wikipedia) in Høgnorsk as completly unrealistic.') --Jorunn 13:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Obviously this request was not made by an interested user but by a user who doesn't even speak the language. So it can be closed anyway. --Thogo (talk) 14:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
