Chakynese language

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Declined PROD. I am not convinced that this language exists. Its ISO language code is not recognized by the infobox links, the article prose seems fishy, and I can find no references that do not stem from Wikipedia. There are other relevant articles, cats, and files:
 * Komye - currently with a PROD
 * Sutagana - deleted
 * Katetakana - deleted
 * Category:Chakynese language
 * Category:Chakynese writing system
 * File:Map of Chakynese.png
 * File:Komye Chinese Character.png
 * File:Shaki word Chakynese.png
 * File:Sutagana SU.png
 * File:Katetakana KA.png


 * File:Flag of Chaky.png

 * Delete Chakynese language. After checking Google Scholar (no hits) and regular Google (a few hits, but almost all from Wikipedia) I'm suspicious that this is either a non-notable original coinage or an outright hoax. It might be a non-standard spelling or name of something that is real and notable under another name, but who's to say? (I've not checked the sub-articles.) --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:58, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - this could be a hoax but an odd one. Nothing to Google under Chakingu or Chakynese; Chilean Chinese doesn't produce anything either. Perhaps it's OR, given the style of the article. It doesn't look as if sources can be found. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:49, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as being totally incomprehensible gobbledygook. --Lambiam 15:14, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
