The Ladin Wikipedia is the Ladin-language edition of Wikipedia, a free, open-content encyclopedia. Started in August 2020,[1][2] it has 180,759 articles as of July 2024 and 24 active registered users. It reached 10,000 articles in January 2022 and 40,000 in June 2022.
The Ladin Wikipedia should not be confused with the Ladino Wikipedia (another name for Judaeo-Spanish Wikipedia) or the Latin Wikipedia.
History
The Ladin Wikipedia started as a project on Wikimedia Incubator in 2005.[2][3] Due to the existence of many dialects of the Ladin language and a weak spread in the usage of standard Ladin, it took a long time to become a definitive project of Wikipedia: about 15 years from the creation of the project[4] and 3 years from the beginning of the participation of the institutions.[5][6] In fact it reached its first 1000 articles on 14 November 2019, while it was still a test wiki on Wikimedia Incubator.[7]
Features
The articles can be written in standard Ladin (Ladin Dolomitan) or in one of the five different dialects: Gherdëina, Badiot, Fascian, Fodom, Anpezan (the latter two are almost never used).[8]
The Ladin Wikipedia has one of the highest article per speaker ratios with around five articles for each native speaker.[9]
