At long last, Gandi has introduced domain locks. If you have a domain handled by Gandi, now would be good time to "deny" all transfers explicitly.
Malayalam - a language or a dialect?
[India]
@ 10:24 AM
Interesting post at Silent Eloquence - Languages or Dialects?:
When I tell people that my mother tongue is Malayalam, first they look at me like I am playing a tongue-twister game and then a good % of them follow up with "Oh, so that is an Indian dialect". And I ever so patiently try to explain that Malayalam is not a "dialect", it is a "language" on its own. Regardless of whether they nod in agreement after or without further discussion, a nagging thought always lingers in my mind whether they really agree that my beloved Malayalam is a language and not just a dialect.
