Here in India, we speak several hundred languages amongst the billion of us. Even our Government officially recognizes 23 of them. No single person can possibly learn all Indian Languages in his lifetime and so, most of us make do with a few. Yahoo! India Maps is no exception. After sitting through a lot of language courses, Yahoo! India Maps has now learnt to speak nine languages (Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati, Oriya, Kannada & Malayalam) apart from English. Watch out for the "Vernacular" button along with "Map", "Satellite" and "Hybrid" buttons to see an area in it's primary language.
We have covered the major cities and towns and will expand the "Language Map view" to other regions in the time to come. For us in the team, Maps in vernacular languages is magical. Because for once, our Grand-moms and Grand-dads will get to see and understand what we do all day long sitting at Yahoo!.

Awesome shivku & team! This is sweet!
PS: I esp like when vernacular changes to “Tamil” and “Kannada” when you go to the respective states.
