Srishti SethiAs per #Ethnologue catalog, there are over 7000 living languages worldwide. Only 320 (less than 5%) of these languages have representation across #Wikimedia projects, including #Wikipedia. How do we create new language editions? #WikimediaIncubator ⬇️
The #WikimediaIncubator is where several language versions of free knowledge #Wikimedia projects, including #Wikipedia, #Wikibooks, #Wikinews, #Wikiquote, #Wiktionary, and #Wikivoyage, can be incubated–developed, tested, and assessed if @wikimediafoundation can host it.
Jon Harald SøbyYesterday, four new projects graduated from the #WikimediaIncubator:
* #Assamese #Wikiquote
* #Gungbe #Wikiquote
* #Shan #Wikibooks
* #Gorontalo #Wiktionary
The Shan Wikibooks is the first new Wikibooks language since 2017 (and only the third since 2006!).
The Gungbe Wikiquote is the third new Wikimedia project in Gungbe in less than a year, following last year's #Wikipedia and Wiktionary!
Congrats to all the hard-working contributors to these new Wikimedia projects!
