Talk:Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Sylheti
Start discussion[edit]
I think authorities should approve Sylhet Wikipedia. নবাব (talk) 16:06, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
- @নবাব FIRST STEP be active, write something (monthly) in the original wiki Incubator:Wp/syl. SECOND STEP community need to request to Talk:Language committee. THIRD STEP If the language committee is not active or the system isn't working, the community can go to Global Council. -- ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (talk) 15:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- @ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ If that user is asking that whether there are problems on approving this Wikipedia, then as I've checked from langcom mailing list, it looks like the Syloti Nagri script became the de facto problem, [1] says that not all of sylheti people can actually read or write this script, they have a survey report that only 12-25 thousands people can write it, compare with 10.3 millions sylheti ethnic peoples, where they think that the rest can only use Bengali scripts, this situation may be unfair for the vast majority of em. So far, there's a plan to enable language conversion system for syl, and developers are working on this feature, if and when the conversion system is available, and contents are verified by linguistics, this project will soon be approved.

- @Liuxinyu970226 Thanks for your input. There is also a conversation module (wikt:Module:syl-translit) available from 2017 for Wiktionaries, with documentation (wikt:Wiktionary:Sylheti transliteration). ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (talk) 07:33, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

Sylheti (Bengali script)[edit]
Is it possible to start a project for them at incubator:Wp/syl-beng, if anyone interested.-- ꠢꠣꠍꠘ ꠞꠣꠎꠣ (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
- That isn't possible, as such creation violates LPP, script-level differences should be handled by any ways other than separating site. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 07:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
