Proposal summary
Please read the handbook for requesters for help using this template correctly.
  • Speakers: (with 242 754 speakers).
  • Location(s) spoken: Russia, Tyva republic.

Discussion

Please note: Voting does not make any difference!

* Their wiki-community has some native speakers. More of this, it is a living and actively using language. Articles in tyv-wiki are sufficiently informative. Strongly support by --U.Steele 12:07, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Approval

Tyvan Wikipedia has been approved by Langcom finally, after the content of the test project was verified by a linguist. Currently it's still "passing Board approval" for one day, but I think it's appropriate to assume the Board will not give a veto, therefore, I already present here the template with the settings which needs to be filled out; so that there is less of a rush for filling it out.

Thx all. Next suggestion is only my own opinion. Later we'll add more. We have some problem with building a logo.

Can you say what the translation of "The free encyclopedia" slogan for the logo would be? --MF-W 18:45, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now here as bug no. 49328. --MF-W 01:33, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
