Hello

I translated a song from a language that hasn't been listed yet.
The language is called Votic or Votian ('vadja' or 'vatja' in some other Finnic languages).

Would you please add it soon?!

:)

Hi,

Languages are only added if there's enough content to justify them being added (a couple of lyrics, some translations, etc.). If you provide more content in the language, then it will be added.

In the meantime, you can select 'Other' as the language and, in the 'Submitter's comment' field, explain which is the language you wrote in.

You're welcome.

Can you please just send me links to a couple of content you added in that language? We have a thread listing all the content in languages not yet added, showing more stuff can help adding the new language.

I may be incorrect about this, but isn't the Votic language close to extinction? If it is, it's great that you're translating songs that are in it-it helps boost awareness of the language.

Yes, around 8 people speak it nowadays, others probably speak Russian.
I don't think that actually much could be done except that (at least from my part).

If you could find more and add them (and maybe even translate them) that would be great :) then it could get added and it would spread more awareness of it if it's really going extinct. I've done the same for other languages and dialects.

I agree with Ellen :)

Just to let you all know that I'm into endangered or already extinct languages and am currently writing a Master's thesis project on the subject, so it's always good to know about more :) ;)
