Hi, Many of you now know that Google has released Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). This time its really nice to see that they have actually added a new section on the language support[1] in the feature list of Jelly Bean. Now we have six Indic language support in Android 4.1 release. These languages are Bengali, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.
Regards, Parag.
