Rinconada Bikol is the predominant language of the fourth district of Camarines Sur, Bicol Region (Region V) in the Philippines. With over 234,000 speakers, it is the third-largest Bicolano language. I think a Wikipedia for Rinconada Bikol would be very much feasible.

[edit] Arguments in favour

  • Weak support It would be good to have this one here at Wikimedia but there are so few speakers, I'll doubt that this will be even active. -- Felipe Aira 13:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Support since Philippines languages have all been successful so far, the country is well connected to the net and the nation's residents seem to be very enthusiastic about their local languages, theres no reason to think this one wont be successful too!Qrc2006 18:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Arguments against

  • none.

[edit] General discussion

  • If Filipinayzd can muster a community for Rinconada Bikol as he did for Standard Bikol, then I would be willing to give my support for this project. --Sky Harbor 07:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • I already contacted a friend of mine who is a native speaker of Rinconada. Hopefully he would participate. Starczamora 06:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Localisation update

Currently there is no observable localisation effort at Betawiki. Thanks, GerardM 06:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Currently 0.00% of the most used MediaWiki messages have been localised. Localisation of these messages is a requirement before your request is finally assessed. This is the recent localisation activity for your language. Thanks, GerardM 12:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
