Hi Houcemeddine Turki, and Wikidatans, 

Thanks for your email. 

World University and School, which shared itself with Wikidata in 2015, and seeks to develop wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,099 living languages in those languages (where there are 8,461 entries in languages in Glottolog; here are links to the main lists of languages I know of - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/11/evolution-of-sexual-reproduction-glad.html - from Wikipedia with 299 to CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare with 5 languages). As a consequence of Creative Commons' licensed World Univ. and Sch. donating ourselves to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, CC-licensed WUaS got a new Miraheze Mediawiki last year, 2017, (which isn't yet interoperating with Wikidata), and here's the main languages' page https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages planned for all 8,461 language entries in Glottolog (with major online universities planned in all ~200 countries' https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - around CC-4 MIT OCW).

The Arabic language dialects / languages (mutual intelligibility is one succinct definition of a language) will emerge from this wiki as a kind of template - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Arabic_language - again planned in each of all of these dialects / languages. 

(Big shout out, and hearty thanks, to Reception123 and the Voidwalker for helping developing WUaS in Miraheze Mediawiki thus far).

Having donated World Univ and Sch to Wikidata, WUaS seeks to explore full further collaboration possibilities with Wikimedia/Wikipedia/Wikidata with regards especially to all languages and language communities. 

Cheers, Scott

Yours Sincerely,
Houcemeddine Turki
