Hello Community!

The topic of this month:

What locale is the oldest? (except English)

Have you already read the blog article "Happy Second Anniversary to the Wiki Ninja Blog!!!!!" posted by Maheshkumar S Tiwari?
By reading his article, I was impressed and I thought to search data to look back on a past. Thanks, Mahesh!!

So, I looked for the oldest article which has locale tag.

  • Only still remains. (I can't find the article which has already removed)
  • Order by Tagging time. (Not creating time)

The list is as follows.

The oldest article which have locale tag is zh-CN (in the English Wiki instance) !! Great Work Tony!
The next are Multilingual series of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP4 Release Notes.

As far as I searched, locale tag was started in earnest from March 2011 by pt-BR. And then, other languages began a little later. Please see pt-BR history.
Therefore, these multilingual articles by Ed were experiments to raise global community, I guess. Is it right?
If so, these experiments became a great success!!

Thanks!
