Hi. I’ve recently started learning Latin and have noticed that the level to more to beginner 2 is 575 words. I’m not sure if the developers can set this level higher now but it certainly deserves to be, since it’s a fairly heavily inflected language. Most definitely it should be up with Russian and Chinese at the 800 mark.
What do you think?

Makes sense, but all beta languages are provided as-is. If Latin ever moves to being a supported language, then we will make some tweaks to these numbers 
Ok. So…the big question is: how does a language move to being supported?
I think I’ve mentioned it around here somewhere. It’ll be on a case-by-case basis, but for a language to be considered it will have to have a significant following (members actively studying the language), a good supply of interested tutors, and a healthy amount of content in the Library.
3 things which Latin will never get. hehe
Well, the basic idea behind beta languages is that we can add languages relatively hassle-free and without the added burden of ensuring they have a healthy amount of activity. It’s a way for us to open up the system more without spreading ourselves out too thinly.
That way, rather than us making a decision to support a language based on a poll (as was the case for Korean), we can make the same decision based on direct (not theoretical) demand
Yeah, I totally understand you there. Would it be useful if I made a list of levels I think the languages should go into? (based on my knowledge of word morphology and other linguistic topics) That way, you can just add the language straight away with a more appropriate “difficulty” setting. Then it doesn’t need to be redone.
Actually, beta languages are automatically placed into the French/Portuguese/…/ category. If we decide to support a certain language, then we’ll look into more appropriate levels for the language.
Oh.
