User:Zrobins2/Language selection

I'd probably want to work with someone with more experience in linguistics, as I have a fair bit of computer experience but am fairly lost when it comes to the language side of things.

Languages I might want to work with:

Alemannisch

General sources: [1][2][3]

• ISO code: gsw
• Morphological typology: Mostly fairly similar to German but I don't have enough expertise to interpret the Wikipedia articles on this
• Speakers: About 5-10 million

• Mostly in Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and southern Germany
• Also, spoken by some Amish communities in the United States, mostly in Indiana
• Also, in a small town in Venezuela (Colonia Tovar) founded in 1843 by German immigrants[4]

• Status: Categorized as 5 ("developing") by Ethnologue ("in vigorous use, with literature in a standardized form being used by some though this is not yet widespread or sustainable.")

• In very widespread use in Switzerland and Lichtenstein but endangered elsewhere

• Boundaries, categorization, etc. are somewhat nebulous, as while Swiss-German is not mutually intelligible with Standard German, speakers exist all along the dialect continuum
• Swiss-German speakers in Switzerland use Standard German and/or Swiss Standard German for formal occasions, school instruction, most writing; hence, no defined orthography exists for Swiss-German per se
