Wide East Speech Wiktionary

[edit]

Dear Oscarcwk, It is not likely that Requests_for_new_languages#Wikinews_in_Cantonese will pass, since there aren't enough people to participate. But a wiktionary in Cantonese is quite useful and practical, because

  • The Cantonese wikipedia needs to standardise its writing, and so far it is doing it in w:zh-yue:WP:YUE in an ad-hoc manner;
  • In fact, the table w:zh-yue:WP:YUE should belong to a dictionary
  • There is already a lot of dictionary material, such as
    • Rough Mouth Five Big Words
    • Football Terms (Step Ball Car, Clear Drainage, Hit Wall, etc)

In short, the need and participation both exist right now. Would you like to propose a Cantonese Wiktionary?
