Ok here's the info:

English name or description: Glosa, an IAL based almost entirely on Greek and Latin, isolating grammar, Latin alphabet (minus y) with no special characters.
Approximate number of speakers: about 10 fluent, unknown others
Location(s) spoken: mostly online
Closely related languages, if any: it's an IAL

Glosa is a stable, historical IAL that continues to be supported by multiple fluent speakers. The increased exposure by having its own Wikipedia domain will inevitably draw additional enthusiasts & encourage both Wikipedia-related (such as with Wikibooks) & non-Wikipedia related projects (websites, reading materials, etc.) to be produced, much like the other IAL-based Wikipedias have done.

2. Oppose sorry, but the info page for the language doesn't even have a lot of information. How would one fill a wikipedia? --Puellanivis 01:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

By searching the site, I can only seem to find one reference to Glosa, http://www.omniglot.com/links/conlangs.htm which is just a passing reference. If you're correct and it has a full article, please link it here, and I can take a look. --Puellanivis 01:53, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
