Hi Jan-Bart,
I am very pleased to announce that the Language committee proposes to approve Wikipedia in Maithili. Request page: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Maithil...
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
