allowing people around to world to access several monolingual and multilingual
dictionaries along with other language resources for over 83 Indian languages,
and is currently expanding to include more!
The Bharatavani
portal, which was launched by the Ministry of Human Resource Development in
2016 became India’s biggest online repository of dictionaries. Conceptualised
and managed by the Central Institute for Indian Languages, Mysuru, the
website’s languages range from the lesser known Zeme, which is one amongst 191
Indian languages to be “endangered” according to UNESCO, to the more common Urdu.
The portal aims to document India’s languages, encouraging people to learn and speak in their mother tongues, and gives endangered languages much-needed online visibility.
As
part of this effort, it has included several rare languages that are spoken by
only a small percentage of the Indian population, including Khasi, Garo, Ho,
and Yimchungre. Experts across various languages have also been roped in to
ensure the accuracy of the content, and the website includes several multimedia
resources such as instructional videos, historical facts based on each
language, and even in-depth research papers.
