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 | ||

| Project namespace | usually the same as the project name | |
| Project talk namespace | "Wikipedia talk" (the discussion namespace of the project namespace) | |

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 | ||

| Additional settings | Anything else that should be set | |
Proposal
editSoutheastern Kolami is language spoken in parts of Telangana and Maharastra states of India. This language is spoken by Kolam tribe people in Telangana, this language is in use with Telugu script and it is a sub language of Telugu. The people of the Kolam Community in Telangana are committed to build Kolami Wikipedia and they have already started contributing to it.
Discussion
edit- Support, I'm in favor because I believe that Kolami Wikipeida is important. It helps preserve their cultural heritage and practices for future generations. It also enables the government and society to better understand their identity and rights, this Kolam Dravidian language spoken by about 200,000 people in the Indian states of Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, the Kolam is classified as a Scheduled Tribe. I don't speak the language, but I'm willing to help with training and technical issues, The Kolam tribal community has a distinct cultural identity, including their language, attire, occupations, and traditions. However, this identity is gradually disappearing from society, etc., I believe Kolami Wikipedia will help the new generation will get, and share knowledge and promotion of tribal languages.
