This language has been verified as eligible. The language is eligible for a project, which means that the subdomain can be created once there is an active community and a localized interface, as described in the language proposal policy. You can discuss the creation of this language project on this page.
Once the criteria are met, the language committee can proceed with the approval and will verify the test project content with a reliable neutral source, such as a professor or expert.
If you think the criteria are met, but the project is still waiting for approval, feel free to notify the committee and ask them to consider its approval.
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.

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.

'Tulisan Jawi'(Jawi alphabet)is an Arabic alphabet adapted for writing the Malay language.
It was used before using Latin alphabet to write Malay language.Jawi is an official script of Brunei today.
The word 'alphabet' is added to differentiate with 'Jawi language'.

Support It is up to the original language is Malay. This writing was first introduced when islam arrived in Malacca state in 1400 more. Yawi and Rumi also different writing.Aplikasi 05:27, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Support I support for Pattani Malay language as an official language with Wikipedia. There is a large number of Pattani Malay language speakers, known as Yawi language for Thai people, across southern Thailand and Northern region in Malaysia. Pattani Malay language and Jawi alphabet reflect prosperity of Patani people in many aspects. As Thai people, I strongly believe that Pattani Malay Wikipedia will reflect Pattani identity and cultural in the deep south region, which fall under violence condition for a long time. --Pluto p (talk) 03:14, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Why don't we combine this Yawi project into Wikipedia Malay by creating a conversion script? I think it is much more easier, doesn't it? Even Yawi and Rumi are different from script, but I think that the spoken language is still the same, which is Malay language.--5662595lai (talk) 23:43, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Pattani Malay is different! --47.150.72.56 18:46, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
@Liuxinyu970226: By the way, Yawi or Jawi language =/= Jawi script. Yawi/Jawi is the name given to Kelantan-Pattani Malay spoken in northwestern Malaysia and southern Thailand, while Jawi script is a writing system used by various Austronesian languages in South East Asia. I agree that it is much better for Malay Wikipedia to accommodate Jawi by a tool to convert its script, but the same thing can't be said for Kelantan-Pattani Malay. Kelantan-Pattani Malay is the most divergent of all Malay dialects, and it is hardly intelligible with the speakers of Standard Malay -- as a comparison, Banjar (which already has its own Wikipedia) is much more comprehensible for Standard Malay speaker compared to Yawi/Jawi.

@Masjawad99: I doubt if there's really no way for Malay Wikipedia to have a Latin-Arabic converter, rather than randomly pick up a code for just another script of a language. How is this fair even for yourself? How can't this follow how Kurmanci Kurdish Wikipedia works? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 05:04, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
@Liuxinyu970226: Umm, was my comment unclear? I meant that Kelantan-Pattani/Yawi and Jawi are two different things. The first is a language/dialect (which can be written in any script), while the second is a writing system. I commented because it seems like you and other people here are misled by believing they are the same thing (even Wikipedia Tulisan Jawi is merged here). I did say above that a script converter would be possible; in fact I think that that is a good idea! I just want to clarify that this Yawi Wikipedia request is something else entirely. Masjawad99 (talk) 08:19, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
Wait, nevermind. I am confused. It seems like the people who created the articles in this project have actually thought this is the Jawi (the script) version of Malay Wikipedia. Masjawad99 (talk) 08:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
