There is a discussion open  at
https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Coptic_3
- you can add your voice there.


I think though that the problem any wikipedia that relies on a lot of
informal speakers of a language is that it can become a chore rather
than fun and the entries can look halfhearted. Just look at half a
dozen random pages on the Latin Wikipedia

https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specialis:Pagina_fortuita

Anyway, raise your voice and recruit some editors who will commit a
few hours a week.

Good luck

michael
