Wikipedia:500th language pool

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 332. 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.

Complaints that the Wallonian Wikipedia is dominated by Eastern Walloons will lead to a separate Western Walloon Wikipedia, but infighting amongst the Western Walloons will prevent the Western Walloon Wikipedia from getting going.

Eventually the trouble will be traced to a Fleming provocateur, and all will concede that no one speaks Walloon anymore any way.— Randall Bart 18:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• March 28 - Proto-World. Upon the advent of safe, reliable time travel in the year 754,280, linguists begin documenting the language of every human group that ever existed. Finally, after more than 200,000 years of hard work, a reliable reconstruction of Proto-World with a strong post-post-post-post-Chomskyan theoretical basis emerges. Proto-World turns out to be exactly the same as the universal language of all humankind, which had emerged around 400,000 as all languages merged, albeit with slight dialectical differences due to historical English, Chinese and Spanish substrata. (All evidence of substrata had disappeared by the mid-971,000s.) To an American English speaker from about 2006, Proto-World sounds like a cross between the Basque, Ainu and Zuni languages. szyslak (t, c, e) 22:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

• December 4 - BFGHLNSrfseo@eWe146wq. The year 292,277,026,596 problem will cause Wikipedia's servers to go absolutely mad and create 6923455621 junk Wikipedias, with BFGHLNSrfseo@eWe146wq being the 500th. --81.226.110.29 16:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

This would be a Prime candidate for 500 languages, the 500th of which would be Simlish (220.239.253.185 (talk) 10:38, 18 April 2016 (UTC))

• Woah, what number is that?

Never

  • Hello from 2022. It didn't happen, and that movie ended up being a load of horse crap. Soz. M@R10FYREFLOWER
• Never, as language will become more homogenized, and therefore there will be fewer and fewer languages that have a use for Wikipedia.  Stan  ³  18:35, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
• No way there may be a 400th or even 500th language, unless more languages are discovered. Look, the figure is still below 300. 2679D (talk) 03:34, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
• Never. By langugage 499, to gain God's forgiveness, we will all speak Tibetian monk languages. They communicate only with hand signals. This is ridiculously hard to make a Wikipedia out of, and anyway Tibetian monasteries have no WiFi. TomBarker23 (talk) 21:43, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Records

• The most commonly predicted language is igpay atinlay (or variants) with five votes. The most recent common ancestor of all the world's languages, the Proto-World language, -- --- ·-· ··· · / -·-· --- -·· ·, ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑, Newspeak and 13375p33k tie for runner up with four votes. Languages with three votes are Dolphin or Whale, Martian, Gibberish, 0100 0010 0110 1001 0110 1110 0110 0001 0111 0010 0111 1001 and American Sign Language. Complex English, Engrish, legalese, Arrr and meta language have two votes.
• The most imaginative entry is English by User:Radiant!.
• The least likely language that actually exists and is in widespread human use is American Sign Language by User:gadfium. Update: ASL now has a Wikipedia incubator page, so it is no longer such an unlikely candidate.
  • Thanks for the update. The ASL Wikipedia is still unlikely for the 500th language. Probably more like 295. Slevinski (talk) 19:45, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
• The most successful languages are Cherokee, Klingon, Latin, Māori, Pennsylvania German and Volapuk, which managed to have Wikipedia versions before they were nominated. Elvish had an incubator at the time of its nomination. I'm not counting Moldovan and English as it appears the nominators of these languages were well aware of the existing Wikipedias at the time they made their predictions.
