Recently, i read that at United Nations only 6 languages are used. Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish. Many Devanagari and Dravidian languages are spoken by millions of people across India, but none of them figure in the official languages of UN
One reasons might be that all Indian languages are not international languages like English or Spanish or Portuguese. What about Chinese, Arabic, French and Russian. They are also spoken only in their respective countries and not global languages. Is this because, 5 permanent members of the UN security council made their language as UN language ignoring other major languages of the world
None of our leaders raise this at UN annual meet and i don't know why. We fight internally over which of our language is better and we discriminate within our country based on language and like slave accept other languages thinking that they are global languages
Probably, many of us are not aware that out of 5 ancient languages of the world, 2 are from India. Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Sanskrit and Tamil are 5 original languages of the world
