Requests for new languages/Wikipedia East Frisian 3

Latest comment: 29 days ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hello? It looks like that langcom is currently considering its eligibility, but the proposal texts and following discussions are confusing due to the requesting language, see [1], maybe can you please ask for an expert linguist to help explaining details on its matters mentioned? --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 12:47, 24 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm not an expert linguist, but perhaps I can shed some light on the matter. The request is for East Frisian Low Saxon (language code frs), not Saterland Frisian (stq), the last remaining branch of the otherwise extinct East Frisian language. The naming may seem a little bit confusing because East Frisian Low Saxon replaced the East Frisian language in East Frisia some 500 to 200 years ago and therefore modern day East Frisians usually refer to East Frisian Low Saxon when they speak of "East Frisian". East Frisian Low Saxon still shows influence from the extinct East Frisian language, but is not a Frisian language like Saterland Frisian.
The proposal text was submitted by someone who has not been actively actively involved in the Incubator Wiki at https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/frs/Hoovdsiid. To me, it seems like this person was trying to actively harm the Wiki by submitting a confusing request at a time when the Incubator was not yet ready. We are still working on the incubator and writing articles at this point and therefore wanted to wait some time before submitting a request.
Neronno has already written something about this on the discussion page. VanModers (talk) 22:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
