Good idea this topic. I think about new languages ​​since I registered to 10FF. :D

In theory, all existing languages ​​deserve to be added, as long as they can be typed on a keyboard.

But obviously, in practice, it's a bit more complicated because the site can't accommodate all the world's languages​​. If you want a language to be added, it must be requested by a certain amount of users, to avoid that the language is typed by only 2 or 3 regular typists. Then, if Chris agrees to add a language, you have to find the 200 most common words, for the normal mode, and the 1000 most common words for the advanced mode, which is not easy for all languages.

I found that some continents or cultures are currently missing on 10FF. For example Arabic is the only language that represents the African continent.
