submitted verification final decision

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.

A committee member provided the following comment:

Please contribute to the test project. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:57, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • 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

Settings
Project name ویکی پدیا "Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace ویکی پدیا usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace گپ "Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads yes 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:Wikipedia-Luz-Logo.svg This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone Iran/Tehran "Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces Main Page:ورگه اصلی , Page: ورگه, Page talk:گپه یکیدوون زیدن, Index: سیاهه, Index talk: گپ سیاهه, Encyclopedia:دانشنامه, article:مطلب, help:هومياری, toolbox:اوزاردونی, translations:ترجمه یل, languages: زوون ئل , Current events:پيشامدئل random article : مطلب شانسی, contact page:ورگه تماس, Donate to Wikipedia:هومياری پيلی وه ویكی پدیا, View history:سیل کردن تاریخچه For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings This language has a Persco-Arabic Script and font tahoma. Anything else that should be set
Once settings are finalized, a committee member will submit a Phabricator task requesting creation of the wiki. (This will include everything automatically, except the additional namespaces/settings.) After the task is created, it should be linked to in a comment under "final decision" above.

Proposal

edit
 
Wikipedia Luz logo

the Lurish language has three main dialects:[1][2]
•1-Northern Luri(lrc)
•2-bakhtiari(bqi)
•3-Southern Luri(luz)
the southern Lurish has around 2 million native speakers that live in Kohgiluyeh va buyerahmad ,Fars ,Bushehr and Khuzistan provinces. Southern Luri, an Indo-European language in the Southwestern Group of Iranian languages, counts almost one million speakers. Still, while brief linguistic sketches have been written in Farsi, the existence of Southern Luri as a distinct language group has until recently been unknown to Western scholarship.
In a recent comparative work, 'Update on Luri: How Many Languages?' (2003), Anonby established the existence of three separate languages in the Luri continuum: Luristani, Bakhtiari and Southern Luri. In the present study, the author provides a window into the phonological system of Southern Luri. Although closely related to both Bakhtiari and Farsi, the language is nonetheless distinguished by a number of particular - and at times striking - phonological characteristics. The vowel system is marked by a rich inventory of diphthongs, several of which exhibit historical /h/ as a lengthening element. Among the numerous phonological processes, pervasive short vowel reduction and a series of consonant softenings are most prominent.
Rigorous restrictions in the composition of syllables drive most of the morphophonemic processes.
The study addresses the impact of borrowing on the language and concludes with a précis on speech style, stress and intonation processes. Erik John Anonby is a researcher in Linguistics at Leiden University and instructor at the Canada Institute of Linguistics. Previous to his work on Iranian languages, In addition to comparative work on the Luri languages, he has published poetry and numerous articles as well as the longer works B?hendayal: Bird Classification in Luri (forthcoming),
