Hi Houcemeddine Turki, and Wikidatans,
Thanks for your email.
World University and School, which shared itself with Wikidata in 2015, and seeks to develop wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,099 living languages in those languages (where there are 8,461 entries in languages in Glottolog; here are links to the main lists of languages I know of - https://scott-macleod.
The Arabic language dialects / languages (mutual intelligibility is one succinct definition of a language) will emerge from this wiki as a kind of template - http://worlduniversity.wikia.
(Big shout out, and hearty thanks, to Reception123 and the Voidwalker for helping developing WUaS in Miraheze Mediawiki thus far).
Having donated World Univ and Sch to Wikidata, WUaS seeks to explore full further collaboration possibilities with Wikimedia/Wikipedia/Wikidata with regards especially to all languages and language communities.
Cheers, Scott
