[edit] Articles to be created
- Hill Mari language, now it is redirecting to Mari language.
- Slavic microlanguages ru:Славянские микроязыки
- I'm on the ball. Coming very soon. Szfski (talk) 08:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Got a good part of the article translated. More later Szfski (talk) 23:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
- Kalapuya
- Shoalwater
- Lingua Franca (language) (or perhaps putting the language at Lingua Franca and moving the current article elsewhere)
- I'll comment in a sub-bullet (feel free to move to the discussion page): I was looking for any mention of "language of wider communication" (LWC) on Wikipedia and did not find it. LWC is, as I understand it, pretty much the same idea as lingua france (concept). To be honest I don't know about the history of use of LWC rather than lingua franca, but had assumed it to be a recent coinage until just recently seeing it in an academic article published in 1962. It's an established term: Could it somehow be useful in splitting the Lingua Franca article (assuming I understand correctly that that is being discussed)? --A12n 12:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Our article on languages of wider communication is at Lingua franca (lower-case f); our article on the language is at Mediterranean Lingua Franca. Is anything still missing? —Angr 20:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requests for attention
- Wikipedia:Pages needing attention/Linguistics
- Category:Wikipedia articles with nonstandard pronunciation (Contain nonstandard pronunciation information which should be rewritten using the International Phonetic Alphabet.)
- Kabyle (Requested assistance in English grammar clarification, which I have done but do not mind if people review VelaenOscuridad 22:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC))
- Icelandic language (Needs general cleanup and expansion) Max Naylor 15:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- (Sorry but I don't know where to put this, please move this to the appropriate place) - I noticed that some language articles provide no citations for the "number of speakers" in their infobox, and furthermore, that these numbers and the "language rank" usually contradict the page "List of languages by number of speakers", which itself provides citations. I'd just like to bring this to your attention, as I think many infoboxes probably provide uncited and innacurate info but I don't have the time or know-how to fix it.
