"A few" other Indian languages...

  Conflating "few" and "a few" or "little" and "a little" is a common Indian English-ism, I find. /Indian

    Correct, articles are dropped and sometimes arbitrarily added; at least the 'the' is. I wouldn't mind normally, but in the case of 'few' vs 'a few' it can be genuinely confusing because there is a drastic change of meaning.

  You are right. By the time I saw your comment, the "edit" link had disappeared.
