Hindi sidelined in Internet: Study

Hindi, despite figuring in the world’s top five most widely spoken languages, has failed to find a place even in the top ten languages on the internet, according to a study by InternetWorldStats.com.

The study further states that dearth of content in Indian languages could limit the growth of the number of internet users in the country as growth was almost saturated among English speaking users.

The study also predicts that a multilingual internet would increase local interest in internet content and increase the possibilities of all language groups to share and access information in their own language. (Source: PIB via Sify)
