Hello, I'm Reke, secretary of Wikimedia Taiwan. We have a project cooperate with National Cheng-Chi University (NCCU), to incubate some Wikipedia for languages of Indigenous Taiwanese. The page on incubator says that we need to localize into our language.

Indigenous Taiwanese have 16 peoples, 15 languages. Not every people have enough users to incubate their own Wikipedia. After discussing with Professor Huang Chi-ping, the project manager of NCCU, she says there are 4 languages we can localize first, because volunteers in these languages are more than the others.

They areː

  • Atayal - isoːtay
  • Amis - isoːami
  • Saisiyat - isoːxsy
  • Taroko - isoːtrv

Please help us. Thank you.

So I created 4 portals for em (assume they are all using Latin script as per their test wikis, and a 3-letter yap: LTR), but could you please provide autonyms, and how about fallback?

Thanks for reply.

  1. Yes you are right, all these 4 languages are using Latin script.
  2. But sorry, I can't understand what you ask me to do. What does "autonyms" mean?

Hello, could you elaborate on what are autonums and fallback? It will be great if you can tell us the Chinese translation of autonums and fallback. Thank you.

Got it.

Their autonums are all same as English name, as the beginning post. Only one word need to revise. "SaiSiyat", the fourth letter should be capital.

And zh-hant as fallback is better than en, I think.

Sorry for my typo: autonym

Never mind, so should I provide any other information ?
