Hello, I have a problem with Microsoft language options. There’s is a community of Religious people called Mandaeans which speak Aramaic- specifically Mandaic dialect of Aramaic. We want to spread our language (Dialect) since it’s on the edge of extinction (source by atlas of the world languages in Danger [in 2010). We would love to have an option to add Mandaic in your Languages. Right now we have to go to another web page to write in there, then paste it into word (as an example). Or we have to send it from our phone and copy paste. We have had many people spoken about this, and even some gone Here to speak about it- but no further than that- nothing has changed. Thank you in advance.

    Hi @Josef Soubhi (elev)

    Thank you for trusting Q&A forum, and it's highly appreciated that you save one of human languages and culture.

    But adding Office or Windows language ​​requires the work of the Office development team.

    It is recommended that you submit this feature request in Microsoft Feedback forum.

    You can also submit adding language suggestion within Office apps via clicking Help > Feedback. For a variety of reasons, we cannot promise planned features or the dates that we expect these features to be released.

    Thanks for your understanding.
