Whatever language is required or whatever language required

Hi. Please help. Which is correct? Or perhaps are both correct?

Write it in whatever language is required/whatever language required.

If the phrase "whatever language is required" is correct, could we take it as a noun clause?

It's correct. Yes. You can take it as a noun clause because it is a noun clause.

Thank you for your help. That goes to vsureth, too.

Could you tell me why the version with "whatever language required"?

I take it as a noun - "whatever language (that is) required," and if I am not mistakne, a noun, whether is a word, phrasal, or noun form, as long as it qualifies as a noun, will be correct.

Thank you. I realize that I should have proof-read my post before posting. For the revised one, I made some grammatical and spelling corrections and made some revisions to my wording.

The verb 'require' needs to be in passive in the context:

Whatever language is required ('by someone' here is understood)
