To get some objective data about the level of support on computers and the internet for different natural languages, I compared and contrasted such support for 4 natural languages - English, Dutch, Bangla, and Assamese. I defined 9 different elements of what it takes to support a natural language on computers and the internet and then listed the level of support for a language in each element. Using that analysis, I finally provided a score for each of those languages. My conclusion is that Assamese scored the lowest and there is a lot of work left for people to do for Assamese to catch up with the other 3 languages. The detailed findings of this analysis are shown in the table at this link.
Very nice analysis and good write-up. We need to work full time to minimize the gap for Assamese language.
