Discuss the creation of this language project on this page. Votes will be ignored when judging the proposal. Please provide arguments or reasons and be prepared to defend them (see the Language proposal policy).
The language committee needs to verify the language is eligible to be approved. |
- The community needs to develop an active test project; it must remain active until approval (automated statistics, recent changes). It is generally considered active if the analysis lists at least three active, not-grayed-out editors listed in the sections for the previous few months.
- The community needs to complete required MediaWiki interface translations in that language (about localization, translatewiki, check completion).
- The community needs to discuss and complete the settings table below:
What | Value | Example / Explanation |
---|
Proposal | ||
---|---|---|
Language code | syl (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
Language name | Sylheti | Language name in English |
Language name | ꠍꠤꠟꠐꠤ | Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ... |
Language Wikidata item | Q2044560 - item has currently the following values:
|
Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed. |

Site URL | syl.wikibooks.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
Settings | ||
---|---|---|
Project name | ꠃꠁꠇꠤꠛꠁꠀꠁꠘ | "Wikibooks" in your language |
Project namespace | usually the same as the project name | |
Project talk namespace | "Wikibooks talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace) | |
Enable uploads | no | Default is "no". Preferably, files should be uploaded to Commons. If you want, you can enable local file uploading, either by any user ("yes") or by administrators only ("admin").
Notes: (1) This setting can be changed afterwards. The setting can only be "yes" or "admin" at approval if the test creates an Exemption Doctrine Policy (EDP) first. (2) Files on Commons can be used on all Wikis. (3) Uploading fair-use images is not allowed on Commons (more info). (4) Localisation to your language may be insufficient on Commons. |
Optional settings | ||
Project logo | File:Wikibooks-logo-syl.svg | This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation). |
Default project timezone | Europe/London | "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones) |
Additional namespaces | For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk". | |
Additional settings | Anything else that should be set | |
Proposal
[edit]We want the Sylheti language version of Wikivoyage. The Sylheti language has a valid ISO 639-3 language code (syl). The Sylheti script (Unicode alias: Syloti Nagri) has a valid code ISO 15924: Sylo (316), satisfy the orthographical requirements. The native script matches the phonology (sound system) of spoken Sylheti perfectly and it is easy to learn (there is a proverb - "Sylheti writing can be learned in two and half days")
- Native speakers: 10 million (2017)
- L2 speakers: 1.5 million (2017)
- Localisation: In Translatewiki 100℅ of the most used MediaWiki messages and required 13% of the core MediaWiki messages has been translated. The Sylheti interface is active and functional. Also, a Language support team is available for the Sylheti language.
- 17 Users by Sylheti language in Wikimedia Incubator
Sylheti language edition of Wikibooks will add value to the Wikimedia Foundation, at the same time it will enhance current and future projects in this language. -- ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (talk) 17:34, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
