500th language

This is a pool for guessing when the 500th language Wikipedia will be created, and what that language will be. This is not a serious pool. List of Wikipedias will be used to determine the winners. There will be two winners: the one who comes closest to the correct date, and the one who first predicts the correct language. The winners will be entitled to contribute mightily to the new edition. Losers are expected to contribute even more to that edition.

The current number of languages with active Wikipedia editions is 326. You can see an up to date figure on m:List of Wikipedias. The pool will close when the number exceeds 400.

Add subheadings below as necessary. You are not prevented from choosing languages that others have already chosen. You may comment on predictions so long as the comment is distinct from the prediction.

You may make up to 3 predictions, but each must concern a different language.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Votes for Borean languages and Proto-Indo-European language are counted as contributing to the tally of Proto-World language
  2. ^ Where a vote is for a specific language expressed with a particular twist, such as a leet version of pig latin expressed in morse code, I've interpreted it simply as a vote for the language rather than the expression; in this case pig latin. This interpretation is likely to be controversial and other interpretations will change the order of most commonly predicted languages shown above. A new pool will open shortly to predict when someone will take me to Arbcom over this.
  3. ^ Klingon is also one of the most commonly predicted languages, but being a language which already has had a Wikipedia edition disqualifies it from that list
