+On requesting new languages
+===========================
+
+This is a general answer to requests for adding new languages that appear from
+time to time in the highlight.js issue tracker and discussion group.
+
+ Highlight.js doesn't have a fundamental plan for implementing languages,
+ instead the project works by accepting language definitions from
+ interested contributors. There are also no rules at the moment forbidding
+ any languages from being added to the library, no matter how obscure or
+ weird.
+
+ This means that there's no point in requesting a new language without
+ providing an implementation for it. If you want to see a particular language
+ included in highlight.js but cannot implement it, the best way to make it
+ happen is to get another developer interested in doing so. Here's our
+ :doc:`language-guide`.
