This is the language committee report for January 2012 (and also December 2011).

=== 2011 report === * MF-Warburg wrote a relevant report for the year 2011, see http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:News/2011_report.

=== Approvals === * The Wikipedia in Veps (a Uralic language spoken by about 6,000 people) has been created. http://vep.wikipedia.org/ * The Wiktionary in Punjabi (in Shahmukhi script) has been created. http://pnb.wiktionary.org/ * The Wikisource in Marathi has been created. There is a bit of content on the OldWikisource (that still needs to be transferred). However, the Maharashtra Government has promised to provide free content for the Marathi Wikisource. http://mr.wikisource.org/ * The Wikipedia in Lezgian (a Northeast Caucasian language spoken by about 784,000 people) is approved by the committee. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikipedia_Lezgi

=== Requests === * Some discussion about the Belarusian Wikisource request. It is very active, but the issue is that it be in both the official and Taraskevica orthography. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Belarusian_2 * There is a request for a Wikiquote in Oriya/Odia, however there is concern about the language/orthography used on Oriya projects. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_languages/Wikiquote_Oriya
