I have been doing a quiet survey, and almost a third and more of mainstream Blogger's are from Chennai. And there are other people settled outside who are Tamil Speakers. Tamil and Bangla would balance each otherout. I don’t think there are more Bangla speakers than Tamil.

Given that fact I think its in reverse sorting where Tamil leads the blogger count, followed by Hindi and finally Bangla.

I should say Hindi blogger Alok Kumar is a one man army in the sense that he is also managing one for "devnaagri". May the tribes flourish :) Tools for Hindi are catching up. Takhti (http://www.geocities.com/hanu_man_ji/) a free unicode editor has been available for long. Indic languages has been supported since Win2000 and are rampant on Win-XP so one can go for INSCRIPT. This link (http://devanaagarii.net/#Windows) has all the details.

IndiBloggies did ask for comments on Categories (and infact added few on demand) at the very start of the awards. Hindi being the national language was treated separately and no body asked for a Tamil category. The next awards should hopefully correct the mistakes :) Nothing about any North-South divide Ravages.

The basic, free Anjal version which plugs into Notepad/Word is great for most editing needs. Recently, I was trying to help a colleague with typing in Hindi and I was shocked to find very few transliterating editors. Why is that? And the few that were available where not free.

And of course a Tamizharhal blog digest. Inspite of all this, and more tamil bloggers than Hindi, The Indi bloggies had a special category for Hindi blogs, and Tamil was a regional/vernacular one.
