Very interesting system, thank you. But why not adding more languages from India, at least all the ones with official recognition? |

Dear Rohini,It has been quite a while since you wrote but now I have good news: all official languages of India are now in the system. I have also added other languages of the Indian Subcontinent which have either a bigger number of speakers or are of special linguistic interest. Here is the list. If you click on the language name, a page with the comparison details with one of its closest neighbours will open: Official languages (with link): Indo-Aryan: Assamese Bengali Dogri Gujarati Hindi Kashmiri Konkani Maithili Marathi Nepali Odia Punjabi Sanskrit Sindhi Urdu Other Indo-Aryan languages from India included in the system are: Bhojpuri, Kalasha, Khowar, Magahi, Marwari, Mewati and Prakrit Maharashtri (an ancient language with Sanskrit as nearest neighbour). Other Indo-Aryan languages spoken outside India and included in the system are: Dhivehi (Maldivian), Sinhalese and Romani dialects spoken accros Europe. Dravidian: Kannada Malayalam Tamil Telugu Other Dravidian languages in our system are: Badaga, Brahui (spoken in Pakistan), Gondi, Kodava, Kolami, Kurukh, Kuvi, Malto, Manda, Pengo, Ravula, Tulu and Yeruva Sinno-Tibetan: Meitei Bodo Austroasiatic: Santali Vincent |
