My honest opinion. Absolutely nothing.
The India internet will soon be dominated by local language script domains with Unicode representations of Hindi, Urdu, Bangla, Punjabi, Marathi, Tamil and others
These aren't even two word combos, but as almost no Indians actually have English as a primary language, they are just not useful.
You will further incur the Mods wrath by posting for sale on the Gold threads but as we have now established this is no more than a discussion thread, hopefully they will let you off with just a warning!
Jeff said:Look at the news articles... alot of people in India do speak english dave..
Everyone in India I've spoken to speaks english fluently as well.
That is the exact opposite in China.
Anyhow I believe that citi finance etc is a registered trademark.

Yet when all the Indian govenment pages, downloadable pdf documents of financial year outcomes and future plans for india. Also call centres is a massive industry in India earn very large revenue for the country for the english speaking world.
I do not think they will give this up, i believe they will have an alternative language button but thats as far as it will go. I own a Indian marketplace and for the last few years spent a lot of time with Indian culture and people they all speak english and will not give it up why? because Indians are extremely clever and intelligent people who know that English is the language of commerce.
Smooth said:Well. Im from India & English is widely used here. FYI, Not all Indians know Hindi. Among the educated/internet users I can say 99% know English while only 60% would know Hindi. The trend is especially in South India.
There are hundreds of languages & English has become a standard language among the educated. I'd say IDNs still have a long long way to go in India. We're comfortable typing english. JMO.
techyog said:... and it is precisely this diversity of languages in india (over 100 popular ones) that makes english the first choice in india. I'm from india. I know It has been ages since I've spoken in my mother tongue with my friends (FYI: all of these friends know my mother tongue which is hindi, and yet choose to speak in english, because that's what the trend is in india amongst the youth)
In my educated opinion, Indian IDNs have little to no chance of getting popular, unlike in tha case of China/Japan. That's not to say that Indian IDNs wont sell..... but they'll never get half as hot as what outsiders (non-indians) imagine.
