Requests for new languages/Wikipedia Carpathian Romani

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.

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

Proposal
Language code	rmc (SIL, Glottolog)	A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ...
Language name	Carpathian Romani	Language name in English
Language name	Slovačiko romaňi čhib	Language name in your language. This will appear in the language list on Special:Preferences, in the interwiki sidebar on other wikis, ...
Language Wikidata item	Q5045611 - item has currently the following values: English label: Carpathian Romani native label (P1705): instance of (P31)/subclass of (P279): natural language, modern language, dialect group / Romani Wikimedia language code (P424): rmc writing system (P282): Latin script number of speakers, writers, or signers (P1098): 150,000	Item about the language at Wikidata. It would normally include the Wikimedia language code, name of the language, etc. Please complete at Wikidata if needed.
Directionality	LTR	Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)?
Links		Links to previous requests, or references to external websites or documents.
Site URL	rmc.wikipedia.org	langcode.wikiproject.org

Settings
Project name	Wikipedija	"Wikipedia" in your language
Project namespace	Wikipedija	usually the same as the project name
Project talk namespace	Wikipedija vakeriben	"Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace)
Enable uploads	no	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-logo-v2-rmc.svg	This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation).
Default project timezone	Central Europe	"Continent/City", e.g. "Europe/Brussels" or "America/Mexico City" (see list of valid timezones)
Additional namespaces		For example, a Wikisource would need "Page", "Page talk", "Index", "Index talk", "Author", "Author talk".
Additional settings		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

The romani language (ISO rom) is a macro language in which North Central Romani, formerly Carpathian Romani, (ISO rmc) is a part. This is proposition of a Carpathian Romani or North Central Romani wikipedia using the standardized language and orthography in Czech and Slovak republic. The North Central Romani is also written in international romani orthography but in practice, it is unused. Spoken by at least 150000 as first language, the North Central Romani speakers are often socially disadvantaged and with no education in they own language. A wikipedia in this language would give the opportunity for native speakers to read and inform them self if the language they use at home and in they marginalized community. As the education level slowly but surely increasing, the number potential contributors should be raising over the time. --Adehertogh (talk) 20:40, 29 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
