In the past few years, the worldwide aptitude towards blogging has been growing, and millions of blogs have now surfaced. Whether the purpose be to earn money or share opinions or educate people, one thing is for certain. Almost everyone (except for maybe a few personal blogs) is looking for audience to engage with on their blog. Now while communicating with these people, the communication medium needs to be taken into consideration. We have been reviewing some top bloggers and blogs in different countries, and we have gotten a better insight into how important language is for your blog. So the big question for tonight is, should you blog in Hindi, or Urdu, or any other traditional native language? And 'should you blog in English only?
The language barrier
Language is the most powerful communication method, and more so in written than in verbal communication. So if the other person can't understand the language you are talking (or writing) in, then your talk is just gibber-jabber to him. During our research on the top bloggers, we came across lots of blogs that were in the respective native languages. True, it made things difficult for us. But it made me think about how powerful language really is, and how much we take for granted when we come across a website or blog that's in a language we understand.
