Hi everyone!

I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] Wikimedians of the Uzbek language User Group [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. It is a regional user group representing all Wikimedians who speak the Uzbek language, a Turkic language spoken in Uzbekistan and elsewhere in Central Asia. The group aims to enrich Wikimedia projects in the Uzbek language, particularly the Uzbek Wikipedia and Uzbek Wiktionary. As a regional user group, it serves to encourage Wikimedians in Central Asia and elsewhere to get to know each other, as well as foster support for events in the region.

Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!

Regards,
Mehman Ibragimov
Vice-Chair, Affiliations Committee
