Arguments in favour

• Support - As a sysop of the Wikipediya Kırmancki (Wikipediya Zazakiyê Zımey), I am proposing a Kirmanjki (Northern Zazaki) Wiktionary edition. Northern Zazaki is one of spoken languages in Turkey, and there is an increasing interest among young native speakers towards developing the language. --Mirzali
