@EfeCini And that's the open source spirit! I'm sure it'll prove useful and be incorporated in a wallet software one day. You may also try submitting it to other repositories such as Trezor's here: https://github.com/trezor/python-mnemonic/tree/master/mnemonic/wordlist

Of course. And I wish you luck, some might not be able to accept because they wouldn't know any speakers of that language to review your wordlist. In that case, you may ask them if instead you could ask for a review in the BitcoinTalk forums. It has a Turkish section if I recall correctly. Then you could address the points raised and they should be able to accept.

All these people (https://github.com/orgs/bitcoin/people) can accept changes. The main maintainer (The BIP Editor) is luke-jr, so maybe you could ping him and ask him if there is anything in your changes that he finds doubtful.

Because no one has stepped up to do the work or hire someone to do it for them. That's how open source works : )

[This repository](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/tree/master/bip-0039) contains the mnemonic list in different languages (Currently just 8). There are also wordlists [in other languages](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pulls?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+wordlist) that are [stuck in limbo](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/pull/863#issuecomment-559024471). However if you find it to be worth it, you might want to prepare a list and submit it to the repository as a pull request, and one day it might get merged.
