Isn't Malaysian the official language of Singapore? Why would you want this channel? Channels are created for different languages, not for different countries. For example, #spanish is for people from Spain plus people from South America. Basically spanish speakers. So, #malaysian is for malaysian speakers. Also, #malaysian doesn't seem very populated.

So yeah, channels are language based, so getting one for a community just isn't gonna progress at all honestly. That's how I see it right now.

To note, I'm not the one who choose but I don't think there will have a channel for a language who is technically more a dialect :s
if singlish is a dialect, then what about the cantonese channel? :cKrah wrote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yue_Chinese Channel is named #cantonese but it's more this language who is used in it. It's the official language of Hong-Kong and mostly used in south of China.Ayako wrote:

Its a 'language' that unites Singaporeans and some Malaysians. And also it can be a channel whereby people who want to experience singlish first-hand can come and take a lookHistoire wrote:

Please calm down a bit with your posts. You definitely shows that you want a own channel to chat but it's kinda unnecessary to leave posts like "pl0x" and "I agree". Instead, make some suggestions and/or leave more reasons why you need it.

Channels are not groups for communities, they are groups for specific non-English languages.

Understood, but this would be a sole requirement for the channel rather than a community of players from Ireland. We would need an indication that there are a significant number of speakers of traditional language speakers for this to happen.
*FWIW half my family is Irish, so i'm very much aware
So how exactly do we give an indication of how many of us can speak Irish when we have no place to speak it?
Zallius wrote:
Get more people that speak the language to provide their vote in this thread, and star it!
My point was being made in response to the opening posts, to confirm that language specific channels are not community group for those who live in a certain country. The requirement for us to justify opening a language channel is that we have a large enough collection of players that speak the actual language to justify operating and moderating the channel.

From what I see, the Latvian thread in the Language Specific subform for a year has 50+ pages.
This is what i call activity, so it shouldn't be hard in my honest opinion. I'm giving you my support.
Just a matter of time.

I'd love if only people that are actually going to use channel would only post / throw stars - that shows how big your community is to consider channel for you.
