I doubt it'll be called for, but there are chromatic folks everywhere--

Contact info: thistleingrey
Dialect(s)/language(s): (southern) German
Relevant information: though I don't speak fluently anymore, my ear's better than my tongue. Said ear can handle both standard hochdeutsch and, to some extent, mid-to-southern dialectal usage. (One parent is a native speaker of schwäbisch; my accent when speaking hochdeutsch is ineluctably colored by this.)

ETA to be clear: given the stated "fics in non-English languages associated with chromatic cultural groups," I'm not expecting a whole story in German, but bits of dialogue or names are plausible as well as in keeping with this overall project.

Actually, a whole story in German would be fine as long as it fell under "for a fandom with a chromatic creator" or "featuring chromatic characters" criteria, although I suspect that in order to record a whole story in German, one would already have to be quite fluent in the language. But this comment reminded me that I should make a clarification post about the dialects/languages criteria.
