Arguments in favour

I support the creation of this wiki. The language has a decent number of speclers and an official status in Russia. Since we have a native speaker and also a number of people ready to work on it, I do not see any problems.--Yaroslav Blanter 20:33, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Support'Support: Native speakers of Hill Mari have the competency and willingness to contribute to this project in the long-term. Hence the Hill Mari language deserves to be given the opportunity and priviledge to have its own language edition of Wikipedia along with the existing Finno-Ugric languages such as Eastern Mari and so on. --Jose77 08:14, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
