| .in domains and indian words
I am thinking of registering some non english words which are similar to....... aloo.in (potato) and nescoffee.in (instant coffee) and chai.in (tea).
Do you think there is any value in these kind of words?
thanks
chris

| Many might disagree, but to me, chai.in and aloo.in have potential IMHO.
(Did I waffle enough on the above? ;-) ).
Some close to the local market claim that .co.in is better for the local market, but I don't know how long that will last. But if it does, then Indian words might be better in the .co.in extension, but it's a gamble either way, right? ;-)
BOL,
Allan

| Thanks for your replies and offer of help. So far I have stuck to english words and the odd acronym, but once I get some more funds I will reg a few indian words. What is indian for money? Is it moolah or moolha? I think I recall them both being available for registering..... | |

| There's no such language as Indian. The most spoken language in India is Hindi.  | |

| Apparently India has 15 official languages (including English). The most widely spoken language is Hindi. It all depends on the region where you are. Down south people either communicate in the regional language or English. Come to North and the language is Hindi or a related cousin. Hindi and English also qualify to be the link language in most situations.
Hope this helps. | |
