Summary
Ancient Greek is the key to an extraordinary literary heritage. It stands as a classical language, setting itself apart from other ancient languages such as Etruscan, Phoenician, etc. There are no substantial reasons to reject the creation of new Wikipedia projects in Greek or other classical languages; on the contrary, there are compelling reasons in favour. We urge the Wikipedia Language Committee to introduce a distinction between ancient and classical languages within its Language Policy and to lift the ban on new projects in classical languages. In particular, we request the approval of the Classical Greek version of Wikipedia.
