But not with mankind. This is because of the creative. Creativity is a natures gift to mankind. Every language has few peculiar words which have many meanings the correct one is implied by the tone of the word. The best examples are Ayya (in marathee) or poda (similar to get lost but much more effective). Can you replace ayya by anything?? (I doubt)Even English as a native language is different in different countries. The usage, pronunciation, dialect and usage changes from country to country to country, (UK, USA and Australia). Another aspect of the language is it changes with the time. It collects the vocabulary from other languages with some changes or as it is. We never use "thou" now a days even whom is less in use. Jai ho or Guru is accepted in english dictionary.Knowledge available in english is mind blowing, but the contribution is there from non english speaker. They adopted the language for access to the knowledge data base or to reach to the vast audience. I agree with the beauty in diversity regards, --- On Sat, 5/12/09, Mahitgar <mahitgar@yahoo. co.in> wrote: From: Mahitgar <mahitgar@yahoo. co.in> Subject: [MarathiOpenSource] Re: Role of english languge in economics and economic growth Share To: MarathiOpenSource@ yahoogroups. com Date: Saturday, 5 December, 2009, 12:52 Thanks for your feedback -Vijay Role of english languge in economics and economic growth Share The beauty of this world is in it's diversity, we can make standards for the machines because they won't get bored of accepting input always in same, say XML, format.

Role of english languge in economics and economic growth Share
by Mahitgar from Marathi Wikipedia 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Today the world is very much in favour of adopting english language for various reasons but one of the strong reasons for individuals and families is dream of financial prosperity for themselves and their children. English language has got more storage of knowledge that helps upgrade your skills and exposure levels, and it helps to communicate with financially powerful to garner economic benefits like jobs etc and business. Since long I am in search of a linguist who can confirm and a show a way to convert worlds seven billion human population into standard english using population and also a way for humanity to sustain and continue forever any such achievement that humanity keeps using the same english language and does not go over to any linguistic transformations again. I am also in search of an economist who can confirm that demand for english language skill is just unlimited and will ensure more and more economic prosperity to every one even when whole of humanity is converted in to english language speaking population Last bust not least can medical fraternity help research and introduce an ejection or a tablet to convert people into english language knowing people. Here I do not want to deny role english language has played in my own life and it is also true that I am my self benefited out of english language skills and knowledge. Here I would like to bring to notice of my friends that when already jobs of even native english speaking people got banglored, what happens when whole of Chinese population becomes proficient in english language is only that bangloreans will be in search of new phrase may be some thing like my job is Shanghaied Here I remember story of king of Midas who wanted every thing to be turned into gold, Does not this story reminds me that having too much of any thing and for that whole world running behind a single language also may not be a best policy and there is need of revisiting our thoughts about this aspect of life more sensibly. I want my friends to discuss Role, benefits and limitation of adoption of specific language for economic growth in individual human life as well as micro and macro economics. Wish you all season’s greetings The INTERNET now has a personality. YOURS! See your Yahoo! Homepage. http://in.yahoo.com/

Hi, There is a user called Shruti14 on en.wiki whos quite active (atleast used to b very active when I was regular!) - if m nt mistaken shes American PIO - will invite her. Second, I would think it wrong to say only people from Delhi/North India speak good Hindi, though Im not sure whether ur looking for representation from people from there or Hindi speaking people. Im originally from Bombay, been in the UK for a couple of years and speak a decent level of Hindi - willing to help where possible.
