Imagine reaching over 1.41 billion internet users around the world in their own language. Register your domain name in a variety of character sets, and see how quickly you can expand your business horizons. If you are a cutting edge business you have already recognized the need for easy search capabilities and created domain names that can forward customers to your web site at .com, .net, or .org. Now there is another way to make sure that customers find your site from across the world in multiple languages through International Domain Names (IDN).
What languages are supported?
Since availability of languages is dependent upon Unicode, it would be best to answer this question in Unicode terms from the Unicode site. Many scripts (especially Latin) are used for a very large number of languages. The easiest answer is that Unicode covers all the languages that can be written in the following scripts: Latin; Greek; Cyrillic; Armenian; Hebrew; Arabic; Syriac; Thaana; Devanagari; Bengali; Gurmukhi; Oriya; Tamil; Telegu; Kannada; Malayalam; Sinhala; Thai; Lao; Tibetan; Myanmar; Georgian; Hangul; Ethiopic; Cherokee; Canadian-Aboriginal Syllabics; Ogham; Runic; Khmer; Mongolian; Han (Japanese, Chinese, Korean ideographs); Hiragana; Katakana; Bopomofo and Yi.
