Hello,

I would like to request that Brahui (`brh`) be added as a globally supported language in Transifex so that it can be enabled normally across Transifex projects.

Language information:

- **English name:** Brahui
- **Native name:** براہوئی
- **ISO 639-3 code:** `brh`
- **BCP 47 language tag:** `brh`
- **Primary script:** Arabic (`Arab`)
- **Secondary script:** Latin (`Latn`)
- **Primary territory:** Pakistan (`PK`)
- **Likely locale:** `brh-Arab-PK`
- **Writing direction:** Right-to-left (RTL)

Plural information:

- **nplurals:** `2`
- **pluralequation:** `n != 1`
- **rule\_one:** `n is 1`
- **rule\_other:** `everything else`

This plural model is already used by established localization platforms. Canonical’s Launchpad/Ubuntu registers Brahui as an active RTL language with two plural forms: form 0 for `1`, and form 1 for `0, 2, 3, 4, 5...`, corresponding to `n != 1`.

Mozilla Pontoon also recognizes Brahui (`brh`) as an **Arabic-script, right-to-left language** with the plural categories **one** and **other** , and Brahui is already active in Mozilla localization infrastructure.

Weblate’s language data likewise defines Brahui with two plural forms and the gettext plural expression `n != 1`.

Unicode CLDR 49 now includes Brahui locale data and identifies Arabic as the primary script for Brahui, with Latin also used as a secondary script.

Brahui is therefore already represented in major localization and internationalization infrastructure, but it is currently missing from Transifex’s global supported-language list.

I am a Brahui translator and am available to actively contribute translations once Brahui is enabled.

Please let me know if you need any additional linguistic, locale, plural-rule, or standards information to create the `brh` language entry.

Thank you.

Hi @Mylon

Just checking if there has been any update on adding Brahui to Transifex.

Hello @hammad,

I talked with our team last week, and they are making some updates to how we handle adding new languages, which means there’s a batch of languages, including the one you suggested, that will be added as soon as the work on that is done.

I will check with the team again today, and once this batch of languages is added, I will notify you by replying in this thread.

In the meantime, please let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance, and I will be happy to help.
