Wikipedia: Arabic vs Klingon

Isam Bayazidi:

What makes me sad about Arabic Wikipedia is a couple of things, First, the number of interested people in having an Open Content Arabic Encyclopedia doesn’t reflect the number of Arabic people over the Internet… Human-made (Constructed) languages such as Esperanto, or even Klingon (yes from Star trek) have more articles and contributors than those to a Language such as Arabic. Maybe it is the technological challenge facing those in the Arab world (I just don’t buy this excuse) or it could be the feeling of disgust and shame Arabs have toward their language. It is a shame.
