# Is AI available in Indian languages?



## Answers

### Answer by Moritz Wolf

Yes, and it is improving quickly, though Indian languages still have less training data than English.

## Key initiatives:

- **Bhashini:** a government platform under the National Language Translation Mission. It offers translation, speech-to-text and text-to-speech across **22 scheduled languages**, and is used in government apps and services.
- **AI4Bharat** at **IIT Madras:** open datasets and models for Indian languages.
- **Sarvam AI** and other startups building Indian-language models, supported under the IndiaAI Mission.
- Major global chatbots also now support Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and other languages.

## Uses:

- Farmers getting advice by voice in their own language (see AI for farmers)
- Translating court judgments and government notices
- Voice-based banking and UPI help
- Education content in regional languages

Challenges remain: dialects, code-mixing (like Hinglish) and fewer written resources for some languages.
