Good news at the end of the year: From Nurdin Kodzoev, the head of the
history department of the 'Ingush Research Institute of Humanities'
http://ingnii.ru/ I got the following confirmation:

“We reviewed the texts from this project and confirmed that they were
written in the correct literary Ingush language.
They uses the current rules of grammar of the Ingush language.
I express my gratitude to Language Committee, and I hope that this section
of Wikipedia in the Ingush language will be approved.“

Do we need a proposal for approval, or did we already have it?
