Hi
I wanna share some statics on Indic language on web in Unicode , I conducted a simple search on 18th September 2011 at 9:00 pm with language name in Unicode with three leading search engines Google, Yahoo, Bing . I did't include Sanskrit bacasue is based on the Devanagari script . This latest estimates can help to find the Internet Users by Language (unicode) due to the lack of other sources in data mining and technical issues please consider this analysis is just of information purpose only .
