Why not hold the language specific proverbs by (or refer to) pages of the referring wikipedia projects?
e.g. German proverbs in German wikipedia ()
This is open for debate. Logically it would be better but on the other hand
there should be some meeting point with a proverb equivalents.

I have moved the following statement from the main page to here until it gets clarified:
One may look at it as a science of the old times and primitive peoples even now.
First, I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. Can you elaborate?
Second, "primitive peoples" is not a very helpful term. If you mean a primary oral (or pre-literate) society, this is what you should say.
I still don't see how a list of proverbs constitutes an encyclopedia article, or why such lists should be in an encyclopedia. --LMS

- A list of proverbs could constitute an encyclopedia article if it is joined with explanations of worldview of the people that made the proverbs. Nikola 04:02, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Afghan proverbs missing.
Where are the Afghan proverbs, and a few other languages, which were there a few days ago?
