Tamil Articles

Presently, you may write only in English, Hindi and Telugu. There is no provision for writing in other languages at present.

I think Boddunan can think of creating facilities for other languages too!

Boddunan may create facilities for other languages also. But presently, the facility is only for English, Hindi and Tamil. This is mentioned in FAQ.

I just wanted to know whether Boddunan is contemplating to add more languages.

As of now, articles written in Hindi, English and Telugu are accepted.
Hope to see many more languages included in future.. :)

I am too eager to write articles in Tamil.Hope other languages are also included.

Deepti,Welcome you back on Forums. :) :)

Well i never though that different lagnguages are possible...Yes it is good feature included...Hope tamil is also added as it is most spoken language after Hindi.

I hope to write a few Bengali articles too,once it comes!

Tamil is most spoken language after Hindi. You are considering only the mother tongue or first language. Even Non Hindi people know Hindi as well as English. Thus Hindi is known to more people- even the Tamilians know Hindi but the Hindi speaking people do not know Tamil.

But Tamil appears to be a very ancient and rich language. So, it will be a good step to encourage articles in Tamil. I hope facility will be created for this.

I also feel that literature from Tamil and other languages should e translated in English and included in Boddunan. I hope translation is not considered as copying.

Gulshan,Thanks for your views.It is very true that Tamil is a very ancient language. :) :)

It's a good idea worth considering! There are some classics in regional languages!

Yes as said by gulshan, hope translation are also necessary..but it need lot of effort from Boddunan staff...

Well its fine if tamil articles are written but for person like me translation is necessary.....

India's regional literature is very rich and varied and we can promote these to our mutual benefit!

The various regional languages in India have common contents as cultural background of the nation is same. There is unity in diversity. It will be in interest of national unity to have access to the literature in various languages. The main handicap is that different scripts are used for the languages. Hindi, Marathi and Nepali are written in Dev Nagri, Punjabi in Gurmukhi and so on.

If we can use a common script for all languages, it will be easier to read literature in all languages.

I agree with you onj thi Gulshan!! India has a rich heritage of various folklores and mythological tales in various languages, if these were translated, we would certainly have an enriching reading material available!! I agree with you that these should be translated and an acknowledgement given in the form of information regarding the original source where such material is taken from!! This should not be considered copying!

As a common script is not available and is unlikely to be made available in the near future we can consider translating them in English keeping all the provisions of the Copyright Act in mind!

Adopting roman script (A-Z) for all languages will solve the issue of common script. many write even Bengali, Hind SMS in roman alphabets. The Hindi film posters are also in Roman script.
