There are over 30 languages in India with at least a million NATIVE speakers. 7 of those are in the top 30 most spoken languages in the world
- Dylan16807 2y agoOkay. But do you think the line you quoted is incorrect?
- culi 2y agoIt's irrelevant. The topic is a defense of equating a country flag with a language. Even if you have 2 in one country then you've already proved why its a bad idea
- Dylan16807 2y agoThe thing that makes it a bad idea is ambiguity. But most types of ambiguity in this situation only apply to the list of supported languages. If the languages aren't supported, the problem doesn't exist. So yes it's relevant. And there's only a couple countries in the world where this is a serious issue anyway. It doesn't make flags a terrible idea for the rest.
- SllX 2y agoI am already aware of that, but stating that here does not contradict what I said, neither that line specifically nor that line within the full context of my comment. Indian software written by Indians for the Indian market might be different though, but I'll defer to any Indians that want to chime in on that subject themselves.
