If you mean the native languages, the problem is that a lot of them
weren't written until recently, not many are used for any academic
purpose (though some notably are) and orthographies vary widely. See:

So what we need for a Wikipedia is a few people who speak the
languages and want to do a Wikipedia of a language.
