Google added a new language to its Google News “???? (Tamil)” – a 2,000-year-old language spoken by more than 70 million people, Tamil is one of the most widely-spoken languages in India, which is no mean feat considering that there are 22 official languages here.”

The Google News Tamil edition indexes news from a large number of Tamil sources and automatically arranges these stories in different sections. In addition to the usual Google News sections, we have seperate local sections for Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka, regions that are home to millions of Tamilians.

On a related note, with the many different language editions available in Google News, it would sometimes be nice to search across all of them at once. It’s possible, too, as Matthias Schindler sent in… just use this URL.
