The Santali Wikipedia ( Santali: ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ ᱣᱤᱠᱤᱯᱤᱰᱤᱭᱟ) is the Santali language version of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The site was launched on 2 August 2018. [1] [2] Santali language's own alphabet, Ol Chiki, has been used as the alphabet of this Wikipedia. [1] [3] Santali is a language in the Munda subfamily of Austroasiatic languages, spoken by around 7.4 million people in South Asia ( Bangladesh, India, Bhutan and Nepal).
The Santali Wikipedia was in incubator stage since September 2010. [4] The process of creating a Santali-language Wikipedia began in 2012 and, later on, picked up momentum in February 2017. [5] Back in 2012, Wikimedia Bangladesh organized a Wikipedia meetup and workshop with the Santali Language Community in Dinajpur District of Bangladesh with the goal of launching a Santali Language Wikipedia. [6] However, that process slowed after some time. [7]
Then in September 2017, Wikimedia Bangladesh organized another meeting with the Santali Language Community in a Dhaka Wikipedia meetup where a decision was made to expedite the launch of the Wikipedia. [5] [8] Following that discussion, a workshop was organized in Dhaka by Wikimedia Bangladesh for the Santali-language community on 30 December 2017. [6] The Santali-language community from India also participated in that program through online discussion. Subsequently, another workshop was organized for the Santali-language community in Odisha, India, on 11 March 2018 in collaboration with the Odia Wikimedians User Group.
After months of work, the Wikimedia Language Committee approved the Santali-language Wikipedia on 28 June 2018 and the Santali Wikipedia site was finally launched on 2 August 2018. [6] [8]
