Proposal summary
Please read the handbook for requesters for help using this template correctly.
  • Language and code: en:Lak language, covered by the general cau-code in ISO-639-2; ISO-639-3: lbe. One of the six most used languages of Daghestan. Lakians originally live in the highlands of Dagestan and are one of the most outstanding historical nations of Caucasus with their exclusive culture and language (more info www.lakia.net, http:lakia.fastbb.ru).The language refers to the iberian- nakh lahguages group of the Caucasian family of languages and has its press (newspaper "Ilchi", info in Russian and some smaller newspapers in the districts with Lak majority) and national theatre.
  • Location(s) spoken: Daghestan and larger cities of ex-USSR (Baku, Tashkent, Moscow, etc.).
  • Proposed domain: lbe.wikipedia.org
  • Language file: preferably Russian, not English, because most Lak speakers can read Russian well.
  • Writing system: Cyrillic with additional sign "en:palochka".
