  • Possibly create Wikijunior:Countries A-Z/India/Languages to display all approx. 30 official languages, but only have top four (English, Hindi, Bengali, Telugu), with the possible addition of Marathi and Tamil, on the main page?
  • Or alternatively a hide/show thing
  • experiment with reformatting
