There is actually about 1.000.000 people who speak it in Cameroon (Africa), that in itself is a argument to try it out. This language has a grammar, vocabulary and dictionary written in early 1900s by Ministers of American Presbyterian Mission for West Africa. There is a Bulu bible.--Mmintsa 10:33, 25 January 2007 (GMT+1)

Arguments in favour

none.

Arguments against

In African countries you can't only look at the number of speakers. The most people there haven't got a computer, so they can't form an editing community. --Ooswesthoesbes 11:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

General discussion

Since no test project was developed since the filing of this proposal, I assume that the proposer has lost interest. Without a community, the creation of a wiki can hardly go ahead. --Johannes Rohr 11:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
