Hello Jimbo,

You are right. I support this. I do not know what languages are spoken in india. I was just reading a world population statistics and wondering that such a huge amount of people got no individual wikipedia.

There are Wikipedias for different languages. Do you have a specific language in mind?

I am not very well informed on the subject, but I am under the impression that most people (or most educated people?) in India speak English. There is certainly no need for a separate wikipedia for different nations which share a common language. There should not be an Australian Wikipedia, for example.

But perhaps you are asking why there is no wikipedia in some specific local language of India.
