The Sakizaya language, which is listed as endangered by the Council of Indigenous Peoples, was added to Wikipedia as a language option on November 21, 2019, with an aim to preserve and promote Taiwan's indigenous languages.
Since 2015, The Taiwanese Indigenous Language Wikipedia Program has attempted to make Taiwan's indigenous languages available on Wikipedia and the Sakizaya language turns out to be the first among them and also one of the 29 Austronesian languages on Wikipedia.
Throughout the whole process, the Sakizaya team has faced many challenges, such as entries writing, editing, interface localization, and the dispute of international language code. This article will look at the development of Taiwan's indigenous languages from these perspectives and provide observations on incubating a Wikipedia of an indigenous language. |
