Add new languages.

Hello, I was correcting details of a movie called Sangi-gai 2023. It had wrong information about the movie language, it mentions language as "Indian sign language" which is incorrect. The movie is in Hindi & it has a lot of it's dailogues in Nyishi(Indigenous language of Arunachal Pradesh, India), but "Nyishi" is not in IMDB language database .Arunachal has high linguistic diversity. Arunachal film industry is a new budding film industry and movies are being made in different languages of the state. These are major indigenous languages of state. All of them are not in the language database.
These are population of native speakers of these languages. According to state census.
Nyishi (20.74%) About 400k speakers (2011 census)
  Adi (17.35%)
  Tagin (4.54%)
  Bhotia (4.52%)
  Wancho (4.23%)
  Chakma (3.40%)
  Apatani (3.21%)
  Mishmi (3.04%)
  Tangsa (2.64%)
  Nocte (2.19%) About 30k (census 2011)

Can you give me an approx time frame (or average times for these types of additions), So that I can comeback at that time to make my correction in the movie language. 

And let me know, if you require more references.

Thanks.
