The Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages (Kölsch: Wikipedia op Ripoarisch Platt) is the Ripuarian edition of Wikipedia. It was started on July 6, 2005, as WiKoelsch on a private server, and was converted to an official Wikipedia during April 2006. As only about a million people[1] speak the Ripuarian languages, the Ripuarian Wikipedia is relatively small. Since both the use of Ripuarian, and the population capable of using a Ripuarian language, are decreasing, it is also an endangered language Wikipedia. The total number of edits on this Wikipedia is 1,608,630.
^This is an estimate based on the quarter million estimate of Colognian speakers published 1997 by H. Jakobs according to http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=ksh or in print in: M. Paul Lewis (editor): Ethnologue: Languages of the World. 16th edition, ISBN 978-1-55671-216-6. There is no language census about Ripuarian speakers.
