Check out the "forgotten" Wikipedia edition for the language called "Siberian" (code: ru-sib). This edition was created in the early 2000s and was meant to reflect the dialects and languages of Siberia, but it sparked controversy because the language it used was not widely recognized or standardized. (Not sure why it needs to be standardized to be honest!)
Also, it was seen as a mix of various dialects and slangs rather than a true language. The project faced criticism from both linguists and the Wikimedia community, leading to its eventual closure in 2007.
Despite this, the Siberian Wikipedia still exists in a static archive so you can still check it out. I wish I can edit it and get myself a backlink lol. Would be great for my Siberian husky dog page lol
