List of Wikipedias
Languages: Template:List of Wikipedias/Languages
This page contains two lists of the official Wikipedias under the auspices of the Wikimedia Foundation for various languages, ordered in two different ways. In a separate section, existing test Wikipedias are listed.
The first list of all 253 Wikipedias is ordered by article count. It lists each language name in English (linked to the English Wikipedia entry for the language) and the "local" name, in the language itself (linked to the article in that language's wiki). It also lists for each wiki the language code used in its URL and in interwiki links to it (linked to the local Main Page), as well as statistics on articles, edits, administrators, users, and images (most linked to an appropriate local special page).
The second list is a simple enumeration of all the Wikipedias ordered by local language name. For a list ordered by the language names in English, see Wikipedia:Multilingual coordination.
See Special:SiteMatrix for an automatically maintained table, with one row for each language, ordered by language code; the local names are also given, but not the English names.
Note: Just adding a link below does not suddenly spring a wiki into existence. For information on starting a Wikipedia in a new language, please see How to start a new Wikipedia. (Currently, Wikipedia's volunteer developers are overworked and understaffed. Your patience is appreciated.)
If a wiki becomes active and is not listed here, please post a notice on this article's talk page, including a link to all the relevant Wikipedia pages, and help promote the effort by announcing it on the Wikipedia-L mailing list, and at Wikimedia News.
The information in the main article count table below is regularly completely overwritten by editors, so edits to individual entries won't last long, and are therefore usually unnecessary. If something is wrong with an entry other than simply having slightly out of date statistics, post about it on the talk page.
All Wikipedias ordered by number of articles
The languages listed below are Wikipedias which have been created. Their progress should also be tracked at en:Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics. These tables can be kept up to date by ordinary users. If you feel that an update is needed, simply cut and paste the wiki syntax from this page (which is updated by script fairly regularly) into this section, overwriting the existing tables.

Notes:
- The "Total" column refers to the number of pages in all namespaces, including both Articles (the official article count of each wiki) and Non-Articles (User pages, Images, talk pages, "project" pages, categories, and templates).
- The "Depth" column (Edits/Articles × Non-Articles/Articles) is a rough indicator of a Wikipedia’s quality, showing how frequently its articles are updated; depths above 200 for Wikipedias below 10 000 articles are dismissed as irrelevant.

Deprecated, moved and other
- Alsatian wiki: als – extended when having 19 persistent articles; now for Alemannic dialects in general, no change in address.
als
is the ISO 639-3 code for Tosk Albanian;gsw
is considered. - Toki Pona wiki: tokipona – Wikipedia no longer hosted by Wikimedia (now hosted by Wikia). The link on this page is not functional, the statistics meaningless.
- Klingon (tlhIngan Hol) – tlh – 62 articles – statistics – all articles - locked during Wikimedia 2005, for the twin reasons of being only a fictional language and having no community. The content has now moved to klingon.wikia.com. The link on this page is not functional, the statistics meaningless.
- Akan – ak – statistics – all articles – deprecated: Akan is now considered a family of languages. There is a Twi Wikipedia; if you'd like to write articles in another Akan language you can request a new Wikipedia.
- Lingua Franca Nova Wiki The Wiki of this language, which has been noted on this page for some months, has never been an official Wikipedia. It now has 822 articles.
- The Kanuri Wikipedia has been closed, following a community vote. The reason was the absense of both content and community. --Johannes Rohr 14:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Test Wikipedias
- Please instead visit the new Wikimedia Incubator Wiki project.
- Deprecated pages that will be moved: special:Prefixindex/Test-WP and special:Prefixindex/Test-wp: don't edit them!
