Requests for new languages/Wiktionary Etruscan

This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page. A committee member provided the following comment: There is no need for a Wiktionary in a language that has been dead for 2,000 years. Etruscan words can still be added to Wiktionaries in other languages, or as lexemes in Wikidata. Closing per #4 in the language proposal policy. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 06:41, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

- 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 | ett (SIL, Glottolog) | A valid ISO 639-1 or 639-3 language code, like "fr", "de", "nso", ... |
| Language name | Etruscan | Language name in English |
| Language name | 𐌓𐌀𐌔𐌍𐌀 | 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 | Q35726 - item has currently the following values:
|
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 | no indication | Is the language written from left to right (LTR) or from right to left (RTL)? |
| Site URL | ett.wiktionary.org | langcode.wikiproject.org |
| Settings | ||
|---|---|---|
| Project name | "Wiktionary" in your language | |
| Project namespace | usually the same as the project name | |
| Project talk namespace | "Wiktionary 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 | This needs to be an SVG image (instructions for logo creation). | |
| Default project timezone | Continent/City | "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 | |

Proposal
editEtruscan is language that was primarily spoken by the Etruscan civilization in the area of Etruria. It went extinct around AD 180. It's ISO 639-3 code is ett. Although there is not much information concerning the Etruscan language, some vocabulary and a morphology has been found. I understand that some Etruscan words are reconstructed and poorly attested, and certain meanings of words are also doubted. Nevertheless, I think it is still possible to have a Wiktionary version in Etruscan, although chances are not so high (primarily due to lack of vocabulary). All words in the Etruscan wiktionary test have translations at least in English, while some words have translations up to 4 different languages.
