Request for bura language

There's an initial portal for it in Portal:Bwr, however it is still marked as a disabled language. Also I did not find enough info in Wikipedia and liguists list to determine accurately which script is used to write the language, which is spoken apparently by only about 250k people in Nigeria.

Two scripts are likely possible for this North Chadic language: Latin, or Arabic. Also I did not find any basic terminology list, so most probably it has no established orthography (which will have to be invented?). Note that in that case this creation cannot be done alone, as the language is reported to have a quite specific phonology for its lateral consonnants (according to the English Wikipedia article, but it does not give its sources). So the information is very parcellar.

In Wikipedia, there's a policy about requiring sources and avoiding self-creations or inventions. I doubt that a Wikipedia can be created for now (even inside Incubator). You should discuss about it with Wikimedia Incubator, and with people in the Linguists List. And if you have resources that can be used (facsimiles of published books/articles/poems, with legal copyright and licences allowing their reuse, as well as getting in contact with more people that want to support this development (e.g. an university department in Nigeria, or in other countries working in cooperation with Nigeria).

Note also that Bura should not be confused with the major Marghi (or Margi) language, which is very close and largely overlaps in the same region (but slightly more to the south), but is spoken by roughly 20 times more people in Nigeria. However Marghi (see Portal:Mrt) still does not have any active Wikipedia (also not any Wikimedia wiki, even in Incubator), and also does not have any support for now in translatewiki/net for any other projects. However Marghi is better described and studied, with many more available sources that owuld not be too difficult to find and use as references. I just wonder why such development for Marghi has not even been started (may be this could interest you as well, and it can find also support in other surrounding countries than just Nigeria, in Southern-Western Chad, South-Eastern Niger and Northern Cameroon).
