Bhartiya Bhasha, representing the diverse linguistic heritage of India, plays a crucial role in preserving cultural identity, knowledge systems, and inclusive communication. However, many Indian languages face challenges such as limited digital presence, declining usage, and lack of technological resources. Artificial Intelligence offers transformative solutions to address these challenges and promote Bhartiya Bhasha in the digital era. AI-powered tools such as Natural Language Processing, machine translation, speech recognition, text-to-speech systems, and Optical Character Recognition enable efficient language documentation, translation, and accessibility across platforms. These technologies support multilingual education, e-governance, digital content creation, and wider participation of native language speakers in the digital ecosystem. Furthermore, AI-driven language models help revive endangered languages, standardize scripts, and enhance human-computer interaction in regional languages. By bridging linguistic barriers and fostering inclusive digital growth, AI serves as a powerful catalyst in strengthening, preserving, and promoting Bhartiya Bhasha in alignment with India’s cultural and technological aspirations.AI plays a significant role in preserving endangered and lesser-known languages by enabling language documentation, digitization of manuscripts, and creation of linguistic databases. By reducing language barriers and ensuring inclusive digital participation, AI contributes to linguistic equity and cultural preservation. Thus, the integration of AI in language technologies not only strengthens the presence of Bhartiya Bhasha in the digital ecosystem but also promotes socio-economic inclusion, cultural continuity, and national identity in an increasingly technology-driven world.
