Indian Languages

e.g. Urdu, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil

Font issues and the lack of international encoding standards make the Indian languages difficult to represent in print and on the web. Urdu, for example, is a language that, like Arabic, reads from right to left, and therefore requires special software to handle it. The six languages listed above are the main languages from the Indian sub-continent that are spoken in the UK.
