The Santali Misplaced Pages (Santali: ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ ᱣᱤᱠᱤᱯᱤᱰᱤᱭᱟ) is the Santali language version of Misplaced Pages, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The site was launched on 2 August 2018. The Santali language's own alphabet, Ol Chiki, has been used as the alphabet of this Misplaced Pages. Santali is a language in the Munda subfamily of Austroasiatic languages, spoken by around 7.4 million people in South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Bhutan and Nepal).
History
The Santali Misplaced Pages was in incubator stage since September 2010. The process of creating a Santali-language Misplaced Pages began in 2012 and, later on, picked up momentum in February 2017. Back in 2012, Wikimedia Bangladesh organized a Misplaced Pages meetup and workshop with the Santali language community in Dinajpur District of Bangladesh with the goal of launching a Santali language Misplaced Pages. However, that process slowed after some time.
Then in September 2017, Wikimedia Bangladesh organized another meeting with the Santali language community in a Dhaka Misplaced Pages meetup where a decision was made to expedite the launch of the Misplaced Pages. Following that discussion, a workshop was organized in Dhaka by Wikimedia Bangladesh for the Santali-language community on 30 December 2017. The Santali-language community from India also participated in that program through online discussion. Subsequently, another workshop was organized for the Santali-language community in Odisha, India, on 11 March 2018 in collaboration with the Odia Wikimedians User Group.
After months of work, the Wikimedia Language Committee approved the Santali-language Misplaced Pages on 28 June 2018 and the Santali Misplaced Pages site was finally launched on 2 August 2018.
