500th language

This is a pool for guessing when the 500th language Wikipedia will be created, and what that language will be. This is not a serious pool. List of Wikipedias will be used to determine the winners. There are two winners: the one who comes closest to the correct date, and the one who first predicted the correct language. The winners will be entitled to contribute mightily to the new edition. Losers are expected to contribute even more to that edition.

The current number of languages with Wikipedia editions is 264. The pool will close when the number exceeds 400.

Add subheadings below as necessary. You are not prevented from choosing languages that others have already chosen. You may comment on predictions so long as the comment is distinct from the prediction.

You may make up to 3 predictions, but each must concern a different language.

  • Bushic - After people miss President Bush (because of President Rumsfeld), they'll make a whole language of Bushisms. This will catch on, especially in the South, and Wikipedia starts up bush.wikipedia.org. Fifty years later, a Democratic president will get elected and ban Bushic. —THIS IS MESSEDImage:R with umlaut.pngOCKER (TALK) 21:27, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

  • 31 December Newspeak- By a date as early as 2050, Oldspeak will have been completely forgotten. (By the way, I didn't notice the other guess for Newpeak when the one below was made. Am I allowed to guess the same thing, so long as it's for a different date. I mean, my guess for the date was a subtle reference to 1984! That makes it better, right? Does it matter? Will I ever get a job?) Steveo2 11:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Um, what language written in binary? —Keenan Pepper 00:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

  • March 28 - Proto-World. Upon the advent of safe, reliable time travel in the year 754,280, linguists begin documenting the language of every human group that ever existed. Finally, after more than 200,000 years of hard work, a reliable reconstruction of Proto-World with a strong post-post-post-post-Chomskyan theoretical basis emerges. Proto-World turns out to be exactly the same as the universal language of all humankind, which had emerged around 400,000 as all languages merged, albeit with slight dialectical differences due to historical English, Chinese and Spanish substrata. (All evidence of substrata had disappeared by the mid-971,000s.) To an American English speaker from about 2006, Proto-World sounds like a cross between the Basque, Ainu and Zuni languages. szyslak (t, c, e) 22:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, and all the other 499 languages are related to Star Trek, Middle-earth and other fictional universes, including 246 dialects of Klingon alone. Though all natural languages have been gone for millenia (en: was deleted about 26,321), the fans refuse to give the conlang Wikipedias up. szyslak (t, c, e) 23:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
