This is the language committee report for November 2011. Previous month no
e-mail was sent because there was nothing to report, other than the
creation of the Northern Sotho Wikipedia.

===Committee===
* Several members (Amir, Robin, Gerard, Santhosh) went to the Hackathon in
Mumbai, India. <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/India_Hackathon_2011>

===Approvals===
* The Veps Wikipedia and Western Punjabi Wiktionary are approved and
waiting for creation (bugs 32510 and 32511 respectively).

===Requests===
* Discussion about the Mapudungun Wikipedia and its orthography issue.
* Amir contacted the Ingush State University for an analysis of the Ingush
content at Incubator. They told that the content is quite different from
standard literary Ingush.

===Other===
* Discussion about Moldovan and its closed Wikipedia.
* Discussion about the dialogue on <

and more specifically about the Songhay language(s) which is classified as
"collective" which we didn't allow so far. <
