well, for now that will fall under 'all other languages'
over the years we've had many requests to add different languages, and over time we've learned we can not keep this place lean and mean with a forum for every language.
for a language to have it's own forum, we need 2 things. we need a regular here who is very good at the language so when people come to ask questions, they can get an answer, or at least referred to a good source.
the other is that we need activity. a forum is worthless if it is not ever used, and also makes for more scrolling to get to other forums.
if someone is adamate on getting a specific language as its own forum, i *may* add it and give it a 2 week trial period. then, if there is no activity, it will go away.
thanks for the suggestion though
