The Ladin Wikipedia should not be confused with the Ladino Wikipedia (another name for Judaeo-Spanish Wikipedia) or the Latin Wikipedia.
The Ladin Wikipedia started as a project on Wikimedia Incubator in 2005.[2][3] Due to the existence of many dialects of the Ladin language and a weak spread in the usage of standard Ladin, it took a long time to become a definitive project of Wikipedia: about 15 years from the creation of the project[4] and 3 years from the beginning of the participation of the institutions.[5][6] In fact it reached its first 1000 articles on 14 November 2019, while it was still a test wiki on Wikimedia Incubator.[7]
The articles can be written in standard Ladin (Ladin Dolomitan) or in one of the five different dialects: Gherdëina, Badiot, Fascian, Fodom, Anpezan (the latter two are almost never used).[8]
The Ladin Wikipedia has one of the highest article per speaker ratios with around five articles for each native speaker.[9]
