Bhutan and Dzongkha Debian Linux

Know More: Bhutan 2.0, Bhutan

Bhutan is a small country and not too many people speak Dzongkha language in the world. However, The people Bhutan can be happy as they have Dzongkha Debian Linux. Bhutan got its own Linux OS nearly a year ago. The government officials are happy with their experience with Debian Linux.

PC World reported:

The Bhutan government liked its first taste of Linux so much that it has come back for seconds, releasing an updated version of its Debian-based operating system that it launched last year. Launched at the start of this month, Dzongkha Debian Linux is a Debian-based Linux operating system built in and for the national language, Dzongkha. It can be easily installed on any PC or used as a Live CD. The updated version will fully support Dzongkha computing on standard programs and applications like word processing, spreadsheets, power point presentations, Web browsing and chatting.

Linux is making headways in Bhutan and Bhutan is an exceptional country in South Asia in this regard. I do not know of any other government in South Asia that supports Linux OS like Bhutanese government.

I think, Bhutan government has taken a good initiative. Linux is a open source software. So, Bhutanese people now have easy access to their mother tongue in computer. Other South Asian countries take follow Bhutan in this regard.
