Doku, the South American language that doesn't exist

[Dhokarena56]

We assume that Wikipedia mods don't know squat about linguistics.
And then we test this. This page has not yet come into being, though.
"Doku" is nominally a Ge-Pano-Carib language. It has four cases, no noun classes/number, agglutinative verbs with voice, polarity, and tense, no tone, and a simple phonology. It is spoken by around 75 people near the Dok river (hence the name-"of the Dok"), near the Bolivia-Brazil border. Except that this language does not exist. I'll put it up on Wikipedia within the next couple days. We'll see how long it lasts, shall we?
By the way, if you don't know what some of this means, look it up on...Wikipedia.

It could last longer, judging by other prank pages I've seen on there.

Wow! What a stupid pantsless idea.

[MuffinSticks]

It's awesome, jeffbun.

[Ibun]

I give it a 3/10 on the trolling meter, tops.

[osprey]

Full tilt! Pinball.

[Archaemic]

Yes. I like that game. I wrote the article before I became a hopelessly lazy Wikipedia editor.

A friend of mine made a fake band and it was up for a few months.

You should probably choose a real place to associate the name with because even if Wikipedia editors don't know about linguistics they might of geography. Linking to the real location from your phony article might also add some credibility.

[Doc Sigma]

Yeah, I agree. A good choice would be Papua New Guinea, which has something like 850 different languages.

Lots of people keep a close eye on newly-created pages. There's even a plugin which allows you to see links to newly-created scrolling by in real-time as they are made.
