[INDOLOGY] Google Translate for Sanskrit

[Uskokov, Aleksandar]

>>Where does Google get the data to substantiate the claim that

 "Sanskrit, used by about 20,000 people in India" ?<<

They could have googled it 🙂.

But are probably taking census data:

Whatever its reliability.

Best wishes,
Aleksandar

Where does Google get the data to substantiate the claim that

 "Sanskrit, used by about 20,000 people in India" ?
