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.

    • 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)[reply

    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
