YouTube opened its doors in India in May 2008, and since then we’ve been working to make YouTube accessible for the entire Indian population — and its 30 regional languages. Beyond Hindi and English, we’ve added Urdu, Marathi, Bengali, and Tamil over the years, and today we’re welcoming four more to YouTube.
Now you can navigate the site in Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam and Telugu, which are spoken by almost 200 million Indians. This also brings the total of available languages on YouTube to 58.
For Telugu, we have more than 100 films of Tollywood cinema, as well as partners like vegetarian cooking channel
Gayatrivantillu who make videos for the web and have a growing global audience. For Kannada,
Shemaroo Kannada and
Anand Audio bring you music, drama, comedy and more to your homepage
guide. Fans of Malayalam cinema should check out channels like
Metro Matinee Videos and
Hungama Malayalam. When it comes to news, YouTube’s partners like TV 9 provide news in both
Kannada and
Gujarati, and
TheTimesKerala offers clips in Malayalam.
