Go for it, the worst they can do is say no. Don't limit yourself to the box of only having "<1 year of experience with Language X", think about what skills you bring to the table other than experience in that language. Have you built an open source project, even a tiny one? Can you learn new languages and technologies fast?

Emphasize the other things you bring to the table other than your ability to sling code in a specific programming language! In the long run, possessing the ability to critically think and solve problems will carry you much further along than possessing mad skills in Languages X,Y, or Z when you first apply. You can learn 'em all as needed. ;)

Best of luck!
