Hi Jan-Bart,

I am very pleased to announce that the Language committee proposes to approve Wikipedia in Maithili. Request page:

As a side note, this will be the first full-fledged Wikimedia project created in a new language since the creation of the Tuvan Wikipedia in August 2013.

As usual, we will proceed in 4 days, if we don't hear anything to the contrary from the Board.

Kind regards,
Amir and the Language committee
