Could Asturian language be added?

[SenorB]

Hello everyone, I wanted to upload my scanlation which is in the Asturian language (Asturian is a language that is mostly spoken in the North of Spain, in the region of Asturias) but there is no option for it (which is understandable) or an option for "other language".
My request was whether this language could be added, as for example a language with similar characteristics is already on the website, which is Catalan (both are from Spain).
If none of the above is possible, what should I do in this case when uploading my scan?

Thanks for reading.

How different is Austurian? I'm genuinely curious. Is it like how you can understand some Portuguese words when you Spanish? Or does it not share words?

Let's say that it is a similar case to the rest of the co-official languages of Spain (except Basque, which does not come from Latin). Superficially it can be understood if you have no knowledge of it, but like any other language it has its own characteristics. I'm no expert, I learned it through my family, I've never really studied it other than in primary school. Yes, it is somewhat similar to Portuguese and Spanish.

Nice thanks for the explanation. I don't want the mods getting mad at me for asking off topic questions and what not so this will be my last. You said you translated some series in that language no. Can you send me a link to one of your series so I can check out the language and if you don't have any yet do send me one in the future. I want to check it out. Thanks in advance.

Actually this would be the first one I've done in Asturian, I've done some in Spanish before. I don't know if it will work on the link as I don't usually use Mega but here would be my scan (it's chapter 105 of JoJolion, just in case).

As per the new language request megathread,

• Requested language should have at least 5 existing scanlations, publicly available.

https://mangadex.org/chapter/ce73bb02-86e9-46c1-8dcc-4a33f09ac2bc

Besides this chapter, Are there any more chapters you have translated in Asturian perhaps?

Yes, but they are unfinished chapters I made last summer, I don't know if anyone else has done translations to asturian in manga, but personally I doubt it. I understand that a language that only has one scanlation can't be added. So, no problem

Try searching webpages using key words, I was suprised when I did it with Catalan years ago because there was more than I expected. Either if you upload the ones you find (properly credited of course) or you upload yours it'll become easier for Asturian to be added as well, I think there's no minimum to be accepted the minimum is five.

I think there's no minimum to be accepted.

There is now, It's 5,

There seems to be a manga inspired graphic novel published in Asturian, Official though

Yes, catalan has a pretty solid presence in almost all aspects, after all it is more widely used. Asturian besides being less spoken has quite a few variations depending on the area of the region, so it's a bit tedious.

First time I've seen one, they are usually just comics and not many either. Good to know
