What about artificial languages? What about a true "interlingua" wiki (not the current purely Latin-one) where wikipedians can attempt to evolve the language they use? 
Should there be a wiki for Biblespeak, and legalese? Ebonics and Klingon?
Esperanto (whoops got that one)--Lojban, and Vorlon? A Wikipedia written in the 
language of Love itself-- with an offshoot into Wikilove if its popular enough?
How about a sign-language wikipeida, or an wiki with nothing but audio articles-- edit
wars will take on a whole new meaning then... 
 
By "every language" you really mean "every *written language, correct?
Arent there languages which are written and not spoken? 

 
What is policy on this?
