This is the language committee report for September 2011.

=== Committee === * There will be a Hackathon in Mumbai, India (19-20 November) which focuses partially on language support. Several members will participate. More info: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/India_Hackathon_2011

=== Approvals === * The Oriya Wiktionary (wt/or) has been re-opened. It is the first time that a closed wiki is unlocked. Though the requirements were not met, it was approved because there will be a workshop in Bhubaneswar, India where the Oriya projects will be promoted and because re-opening a wiki is easy. * The Northern Sotho Wikipedia (wp/nso) has been approved, but waiting for creation (bug 30882). * The Lezgi Wikipedia (wp/lez) and Tachelhit Wikipedia (wp/shi) can be approved if someone who can verify the content is found.

=== Related === * The language code "als" (assigned to Tosk Albanian) is misused by Alemannic [gsw]. The als.wikipedia.org should be moved (see bug 23215), but User:Terfili submitted an ISO 639-3 change request to create an Alemannic macrolanguage "aeg" including the current code "gsw". If that passes, the wiki would likely be moved to aeg.wikipedia.org. Change request: http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/chg_detail.asp?id=2011-180&lang=aeg
