List of Wikipedias
Languages: Template:List of Wikipedias/Languages
This page contains a list of the official Wikipedias under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation for various languages. Test Wikipedias are listed at the Wikimedia Incubator Wiki project.
All 254 Wikipedias are ordered by article count. The table lists each language name in English (linked to the English Wikipedia entry for the language) and the "local" name, in the language itself (linked to the article in that language's wiki). It also lists for each wiki the language code used in its URL and in interwiki links to it (linked to the local Main Page), as well as statistics on articles, edits, administrators, users, and images (most linked to an appropriate local special page).
Note: Just adding a link below does not suddenly spring a wiki into existence. For information on starting a Wikipedia in a new language, please see Meta:Language proposal policy. (Currently, Wikipedia's volunteer developers are overworked and understaffed. Your patience is appreciated.)
If a wiki becomes active and is not listed here, please post a notice on this article's talk page, including a link to all the relevant Wikipedia pages, and help promote the effort by announcing it on the Wikipedia-L mailing list, and at Wikimedia News.samoa
The information in the main article count table below is regularly completely overwritten by editors (using automatically gathered data from Special:Statistics of each wiki), so edits to individual entries won't last long, and are therefore usually unnecessary. If something is wrong with an entry other than simply having slightly out of date statistics, post about it on the talk page.

Notes:
- The "Total" column refers to the number of pages in all namespaces, including both Articles (the official article count of each wiki) and Non-Articles (User pages, Images, talk pages, "project" pages, categories, and templates).
- The "Depth" column (Edits/Articles × Non-Articles/Articles)(1+stub-ratio) is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia’s quality, showing how frequently its articles are updated. Note that it doesn’t refer to academic quality (which obviously can’t be mathematically computed anyway), but to Wikipedian quality, i.e. the depth of collaborativeness — a descriptor that is highly relevant for a Wikipedia. Depths above 200 for Wikipedias below 10 000 articles are dismissed as irrelevant.
The table (regularly updated)
The languages listed below are Wikipedias which have been created. Their progress should also be tracked at Multilingual statistics. These tables can be kept up to date by ordinary users. If you feel that an update is needed, simply cut and paste the wiki syntax from this page (which is updated by script fairly regularly) into this section, overwriting the existing tables.

Deprecated, moved and other
Redirect:
- nan:, showing up in Special:SiteMatrix as existing Wikimedia language code but without any wiki, redirects to zh-min-nan:.
Deprecated:
- Alsatian wiki: als – extended when having 19 persistent articles; now for Alemannic dialects in general, no change in address.
als
is the ISO 639-3 code for Tosk Albanian;gsw
is considered. - Akan – ak – statistics – all articles – deprecated: Akan is now considered a family of languages. There is a Twi Wikipedia; if you'd like to write articles in another Akan language you can request a new Wikipedia.
Read-only (existing users can still log in; their user preferences are still effective but cannot be changed):
- Klingon (tlhIngan Hol) – tlh – 62 articles – statistics – all articles - locked during Wikimedia 2005 (last edit: 2 August 2005), for the twin reasons of being only a fictional language and having no community. The content has now moved to klingon.wikia.com. The link on this page is not functional, the statistics meaningless.
- The Kanuri Wikipedia has been closed, following a community vote. The reason was the absense of both content and community.
- The Choctaw Wikipedia has been closed following a community vote. The existing minimal content will possibly be moved to the incubator Wiki.
- Moldovan (mo:). See Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Moldovan Wikipedia.
Emptied and locked (this is different from "non-existing" in that it is in Special:SiteMatrix; also xx.wikipedia.org gives a non-existing "Main Page" as opposed to a browser message that the URL is wrong):
- Toki Pona wiki: tokipona – Wikipedia no longer hosted by Wikimedia (now hosted by Wikia). The link on this page is not functional, the statistics meaningless.
Never been an official Wikipedia:
- Lingua Franca Nova Wiki. The Wiki of this language has been noted on this page for some months. It now has 1,135 articles.
Test Wikipedias
- Please instead visit the new Wikimedia Incubator Wiki project.
- Languages without an ISO code can go to the Incubator Plus, the place where rejected tests from the Wikimedia Incubator go to.
- Deprecated pages that will be moved: special:Prefixindex/Test-WP and special:Prefixindex/Test-wp: don't edit them!
