 No offense to our Ethiopian bretheren but I'm surprised that would be one of the 26.

So I would guess that some of these are special circumstance items that are not an ongoing thing. Some seem to be esoteric and I'm assuming they have a very limited circulation.

Hindi Hindi Hindi
Quote:
The native speakers of Hindi dialects between them account for 40% of the Indian population. Standard Hindi is one of the 22 official languages of India, and is used, along with English, for administration of the central government. Standard Hindi is a sanskritised register derived from the khari boli dialect. Urdu is a different, persianised, register of the same dialect. Taken together, these registers are historically also known as Hindustani. |

Anastasios, what are you trying to say exactly? I speak 1 of those official languages, but Hindi is the national language, and even though there are many diff. official languages almost everyone knows hindi and their own state language.

In a catalog before, I actually saw both the day and even the date in another language. I think in one of the models, BOTH the day and date wheels were written in Arabic. Just wanted to share that since I thought it was interesting.
