To Google: Tamil, etc aren’t “Indic languages”

Started by Pranav Chavda · 1 year ago

My apologies for the off-topic post, however, since the official google blog hasn’t a commenting feature, posting this here so that I can leave a trackback. Google announced a couple days ago the launch of what they call “Indic” language support - with trans ... Continue reading »

  • Proud Indian From South

    For us, the people from south, Hindi itself is not a Indian language. We consider Sanskrit as Indian language spoken by people north of vindhya.

    First understand that Hindi is a regional language of UP, Bihar and MP which replaced one of the sacred language of india. Sanskrit in those regions.
    Come little outside these states, you will not find hindi. Dont drag the prakrits to support you. Understand that your hindi speaking people are also minorities. Those people speaking marathi, gujarati, bengali and punjabi have to be blamed for not being proud about their language.

    Our Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada is older than your hindi boss ! and more phonetic than your hindi.

    Dont impose regionalism on us.

    To unite as nation, we need in unity in diversity. India doesnt need one language to unite the country. It will be united by all the language.

    India doesnt need the talk of which language is superior, which language is indic kind of arguments. So please remove this post or get a life.

    I din't say south Indian languages are not Indian. How absurd!

    All I am saying is that these are not indic, meaning that these are
    ancient languages but aren't branches or sub-branches of sanskrit and
    it's prakrits or other indo-european languages. I know that tamil is THE
    oldest language of India, but that doesn't make it Indic - mainly
    because it's not sanskrit, nor is it derived from sanskrit or written in
    a way that sanskrit is.

    For the record, I am neither a speaker of Hindi nor of south Indian
    languages. It's just the way google has classified these languages is
    incorrect and I was pointing that out.

    I wouldn't say it's a "race", more like a linguistic group. There isn't such a thing as an aryan race.
