This page contains information about all '''{{NUMBEROF|languages|Wikipedia}} languages''' for which official [[Wikipedia]]s have been created under the auspices of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]]. The table below, however, excludes [[#Closed and read-only|{{NUMBEROF|closed|Wikipedia}} Wikipedias that were closed]] and moved to the [[incubator:|Wikimedia Incubator]] for further development, leaving a current total of '''{{NUMBEROF|active|Wikipedia}}''' active Wikipedias. Content in other languages is being developed at the Wikimedia Incubator; languages which meet [[language proposal policy|certain criteria]] can get their own [[w:wiki|wiki]]s.
The table entries are ordered by current article count. Each entry gives the language name in English (linked to the English Wikipedia article for the language); its "local name" (i.e. in the language itself); the [[Special:SiteMatrix|language code]] used in the wiki's [[w:URL|URL]] address and in [[Help:Interwiki linking|interwiki links]] to it (linked to the local Main Page); and statistics on articles, edits, administrators, users, active users, and images (each linked to an appropriate local special page).
To start a Wikipedia in a new language, please see our [[language proposal policy]] and [[Incubator:Help:Manual|the Incubator manual]]. '''Note: Just adding a link here does not create a new Wikipedia, nor does it serve to request that one be created.'''
If a wiki becomes active and is not listed here, please post a notice on [[Talk:List of Wikipedias|this article'
'''The tables here are maintained automatically''' based on statistics collected by a bot four times a day, so '''it is not necessary to "manually" update the table.''' (The way this is being done makes that impossible, anyway.) If something is wrong with an entry other than simply having slightly outdated statistics, post about it on the [[Talk:List of Wikipedias|talk page]].
{{Lists of Wikipedias}}
== Notes ==
* The "'''All pages'''" column refers to the number of pages in ''all'' namespaces, including both '''articles''' (the [[mw:Manual:Article count|official article count]] of each wiki) and '''non-articles''' (user pages, images, talk pages, "project" pages, categories, and templates).
* "'''Active Users'''" are registered users who have made at least one edit in the last thirty days.
* "'''Files'''" is the number of locally uploaded files. Note that some large Wikipedias do not use local images or other media files and rely on [[Wikimedia Commons|Commons]] completely, so the value "0" is not a glitch (see also [[List of Wikipedias having zero local media files]]).
<!--
* The "'''[[Wikipedia article depth|Depth]]'''" column (defined as '''[Edits/Articles] × [Non-Articles/Articles] × [1 − Stub-ratio]''' ) is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia’s quality, showing how frequently its articles are updated. It does not refer to ''academic'' quality.

== <span id="table"></span>All Wikipedias ordered by number of articles ==
The languages listed here are Wikipedias that have been created as separate subdomains of wikipedia.org, ordered by number of [[mw:Manual:Article count|articles]]. The table can also be sorted by other columns. It excludes [[#Closed and read-only|closed Wikipedias]]. Historical data of this table dating back to 2007 can be found in the [https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_Wikipedias/Table&action=history history of this table] or, after 15 October 2022, in the [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Data:Wikipedia_statistics/data.tab&action=history history of the current source of the data].

=== <span id="Test Wikipedias"></span> Not yet created ===
Please visit the '''[[incubator:|Wikimedia Incubator]]''' for new language versions (known as "tests") that may become stand-alone wikis in the future. See the Incubator [[incubator:Help:Manual|Manual]] and [[incubator:Help:FAQ|FAQ]] for more information.

=== <span id="Read-only"></span> Closed and read-only ===
These Wikipedias are closed and in read-only status. Existing users can still log in and their user preferences are still effective, but they cannot edit any pages. Editiable copies of these Wikipedias can be found in the Incubator; for example, the page [[:cho:Chahta]] at the closed Choctaw Wikipedia can be found (and edited) at [[incubator:Wp/cho/Chahta]].
# [[:aa:]] – The [[w:Afar language|Afar]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Afar Wikipedia|closed on 10 May 2008]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/aa]].
# [[:ak:]] – The [[w:Akan language|Akan]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Akan Wikipedia 2|closed on 1 April 2023]]. It should be noted that Akan is now considered a family of languages, so the ak.wikipedia ___domain has been split into two separate projects (and potentially more): one for [[w:Twi|Twi]] at [[:tw:]], and another for [[w:Fante dialect|Fante]] at [[:fat:]].
# [[:cho:]] – The [[w:Choctaw language|Choctaw]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Choctaw Wikipedia|closed on 3 July 2007]], following a community vote. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/cho]].
# [[:ho:]] – The [[w:Hiri Motu|Hiri Motu]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Hiri Motu Wikipedia|closed on 9 July 2007]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/ho]].
# [[:hz:]] – The [[w:Herero language|Herero]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Herero Wikipedia|closed on 24 July 2007]]. The wiki has been emptied and locked, but the original user pages still exist. It is now re-incubated at [[incubator:Wp/hz]].
# [[:ii:]] – The [[w:Nuosu language|Yi]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Yi Wikipedia|closed on 29 July 2007]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/ii]].
# [[:kj:]] – The [[w:Kwanyama|Kwanyama]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Kwanyama Wikipedia|closed on 10 July 2007]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/kj]].
# [[:kr:]] – The [[w:Kanuri language|Kanuri]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Kanuri Wikipedia|closed on 3 May 2007]], following a community vote. The reason was the absence of both content and community. As Kanuri is considered as a macrolanguage, where member language codes of the macro has lack of mutual intelligibility, a [[:knc:|Central Kanuri]] (knc) Wikipedia was re-launched in 2025.
# [[:lrc:]] – The [[w:Northern Luri language|Northern Luri]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Northern Luri Wikipedia|closed on 14 January 2021]]. As almost all of the former contents were confirmed not written in proper Luri, they were not imported back into the Incubator. Users who speak the language are encouraged to re-start [[incubator:Wp/lrc|a test project]].
# [[:mh:]] – The [[w:Marshallese language|Marshallese]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Marshallese Wikipedia|closed on 4 May 2008]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/mh]].
# [[:mus:]] – The [[w:Muscogee language|Muscogee]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Muscogee Wikipedia|closed on 10 July 2007]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/mus]].
# [[:na:]] – The [[w:Nauruan language|Nauruan]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Nauruan Wikipedia|closed on 1 May 2023]]. The contents of nawiki were imported into [[incubator:Wp/na|Incubator Wp/na]], but deleted in 2025 due to a discussion that doubt the quality of imported-in contents; users who are familiar with speaking Nauruan are feel free to re-start such a project from scratch.
# [[:ng:]] – The [[w:Ndonga|Ndonga]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Ndonga Wikipedia|closed on 10 January 2010]]. It is now found at [[incubator:Wp/ng]].
# [[:pih:]] – The [[w:Pitkern|Pitkern]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Pitkern & Norfuk Wikipedia 3|closed on 19 March 2025]]. Due to lack of useful contents, pages on pihwiki were not imported into Incubator; users who are familiar with speaking Pitkern are feel free to re-start [[incubator:Wp/pih|such a project]] from scratch.
See also our [[Special:SiteMatrix]], where the closed Wikipedias are crossed out (and the red links indicate wikis that have never existed). There is also a configuration file listing [https://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=dblists/closed.dblist all closed Wikimedia projects].
=== <span id="Moved and deleted"></span> Deleted but hosted elsewhere ===
These Wikipedias are no longer hosted by Wikimedia. They have been moved to other hosts.
# tok – The [[w:Toki Pona|Toki Pona]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Tokipona Wikipedia|officially closed in 2008]] and all projects in that language were [[phab:T13511|deleted in 2010]] due to the lack of a valid ISO language code at the time. The wiki was hosted by Wikia (which became [[w:Fandom (website)|Fandom]]) until 2021. It is now an independently hosted encyclopedia at https://wikipesija.org.
# tlh – The [[w:Klingon language|Klingon]] Wikipedia was permanently locked in August 2005, and was moved to Wikia (Fandom) as the [[wikia:Klingon|Klingon Wiki]]. For details, see the [[history of the Klingon Wikipedia]].
# ru-sib – The [[w:Siberian language|Siberian]] Wikipedia was [[Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Siberian Wikipedia|deleted in 2007]] after it became apparent that the creation of the wiki in 2006 was based on a hoax. The wiki's content was moved to the [http://yauzaforum.ru/upliner/sibvolgota/ sibvolgota] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20121008014455/http://yauzaforum.ru/upliner/sibvolgota/index.php?title=%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B0 archive link]).
# [[:mo:]] – The [[w:Moldovan language|Moldovan]] Wikipedia in the [[w:Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet|Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet]] was [[Proposals for closing projects/Deletion of Moldovan Wikipedia 2|deleted in November 2017]], a decade after being [[Proposals for closing projects/Closure of Moldovan Wikipedia|closed]]. It is now hosted by Fandom as [https://wpmo.fandom.com/mo/wiki/Паӂина_принчипалэ Википедия]. The [[:mo:]] interlanguage prefix now points to the Romanian Wikipedia.
=== <span id="Deprecated"></span><span id="Deprecated language codes"></span> Nonstandard language codes ===
These Wikipedias use language codes that do not conform to the [[w:ISO 639|ISO 639]] standard (which is how wiki subdomains are chosen nowadays).
# [[:als:]] – originally used for the [[w:Alsatian dialect|Alsatian]] Wikipedia, which now encompasses the [[w:Alemannic German|Alemannic dialects]] in general — the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/gsw gsw]</code> is being considered as a replacement subdomain (note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/als als]</code> officially represents the unrelated language [[w:Tosk Albanian|Tosk Albanian]])
# [[:bat-smg:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Samogitian language|Samogitian]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/sgs sgs]</code>)
# [[:be-tarask:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Taraškievica|Belarusian (Taraškievica)]] Wikipedia, combination of <code>be</code> for Belarusian and IETF language tag <code>tarask</code> for Taraškievica
# [[:cbk-zam:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Chavacano|Zamboanga Chavacano]] Wikipedia (note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/cbk cbk]</code> is the correct code for the larger family of langugages Zamboanga Chavacano is a member of)
# [[:fiu-vro:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Võro language|Võro]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/vro vro]</code> — note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/fiu fiu]</code> is the official code for the family of languages Võro is a member of)
# [[:ksh:]] – code used for the [[w:Ripuarian language|Ripuarian]] Wikipedia, even though <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/ksh ksh]</code> actually represents [[w:Colognian|Kölsch (or Colognian)]], a subset of Ripuarian
# [[:map-bms:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Banyumasan dialect|Banyumasan]] Wikipedia (note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/map map]</code> does represent the family of languages the Banyumasan dialect falls within)
# [[:nds-nl:]] – invented code used for [[w:Dutch Low Saxon|Dutch Low Saxon]] Wikipedia would technically be the correct code for Low Saxon spoken in the Netherlands (i.e., <code>nds-NL</code>), but is therefore redundant with [[:nds:]], the code used for the [[w:Low German|Low German/Low Saxon]] Wikipedia (note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/nds nds]</code> is the correct code for the Low German/Low Saxon family of languages, which Dutch Low Saxon is a member of)
# [[:nrm:]] – code used for the [[w:Norman language|Norman]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/nrf nrf]</code> — note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/nrm nrm]</code> is the official code for the completely unrelated language [[w:Narom language|Narom]])
# [[:roa-rup:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Aromanian language|Aromanian]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/rup rup]</code> — note that <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/roa roa]</code> is the standard code for the larger family of Romance languages that Aromanian is a member of)
# [[:roa-tara:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Tarantino dialect|Tarantino]] Wikipedia (again, <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/roa roa]</code> is the standard code for the large family of Romance languages that the Tarantino dialect falls within)
# [[:sh:]] – deprecated code used for the [[w:Serbo-Croatian|Serbo-Croatian]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/hbs hbs]</code>)
# [[:simple:]] – invented code used for the Simple [[w:English language|English]] Wikipedia (which is just an IETF language tag, not the formal code <code>en-simple</code>)
# [[:zh-classical:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Classical Chinese|Classical Chinese]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/lzh lzh]</code>)
# [[:zh-min-nan:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Southern Min|Southern Min]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/nan nan]</code>)
# [[:zh-yue:]] – invented code used for the [[w:Cantonese|Cantonese]] Wikipedia (not the official code <code>[https://iso639-3.sil.org/code/yue yue]</code>)
Note that [[phab:T172035|renaming wiki subdomains is very difficult]], which is why so many of these nonstandard codes are still in use despite the existence of alternatives.
=== <span id="Redirects:"></span> Redirects ===
# [[:be-x-old:]] – redirects to [[:be-tarask:]] (see above section)
# [[:cz:]] – redirects to [[:cs:]] (the [[w:Czech language|Czech]] Wikipedia)
# [[:dk:]] – redirects to [[:da:]] (the [[w:Danish language|Danish]] Wikipedia)
# [[:jp:]] – redirects to [[:ja:]] (the [[w:Japanese language|Japanese]] Wikipedia)
# [[:mo:]] – redirects to [[:ro:]] (as discussed [[#Deleted Wikipedias now hosted elsewhere|above]], the [[w:Moldovan language|Moldovan]] Wikipedia now redirects to the [[w:Romanian language|Romanian]] Wikipedia)
# [[:nan:]] – redirects to [[:zh-min-nan:]] (the [[w:Southern Min|Southern Min]] Wikipedia)
# [[:nb:]] – redirects to [[:no:]] (the [[w:Norwegian language|Norwegian]] Wikipedia using [[w:Bokmål|Bokmål orthography]])
# [[:yue:]] – redirects to [[:zh-yue:]] (the [[w:Cantonese|Cantonese]] Wikipedia)
=== Non-language subdomains ===
* [[nostalgia:]] – A read-only snapshot of English Wikipedia's early days.
* [[sep11:]] – The [[Sep11wiki]] existed with a .wikipedia.org URL from 2001 to 2008, despite its totally different scope and purpose from all other Wikipedias. It was made read-only in 2006 and closed two years later.
* [[tenwiki:|ten:]] – Used for [[Wikipedia 10]], the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia celebration events. (Since "[[iso639-3:ten|ten]]" is an ISO language code for the extinct [[w:Tama language (Colombia)|Tama language in Colombia]], the interwiki prefix "[[tenwiki:]]" is now used to refer to this site.)
