Hi, I've got a main project coming up and i've been thinking about creating a non english based programming language,ie in my mothertongue malayalam. But i'm not sure if its feasible. Also, should it have its own programming syntax or emulate some other programming language like C? Can someone lead me in the right direction? I've noticed there are some Robik and chinese basic which has given me some hope..

Jump to PostBorland and Microsoft have created (in the past, they've given up on it because it was highly unpopular) localised versions of their programming languages, so it can be done.
If you base it on C, the mathematical syntax wouldn't need much in the way of translation.
Jump to Postare you really so stupid as to think that computers can't accept input in any language except English?

No, it's really a question of stupidity, because you'd have to have a seriously questionable understanding of what you can do with computation if you have to wonder whether programs could take input in other languages.
