Judging from the .in suffix, I'm guessing Indian as the original, the
subcontinent of Asia.

I think Justin is probably correct here. I know that Fedora has support
for many languages. At work, I know someone who uses Tamil, (not sure if
that is used in India proper), someone else writes in Urdu, though somewhat
ironically I know of no one here using Hindi.

A quick search of Indian languages Fedora, brings me to this page

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/11/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-International_Language_Support.html

Towards the end of the page is section 4.4.4 which lists

Gujarati
Hindi
Kannada
Kashmiri
Konkani
Maithili
Marathi
Nepali
Punjabi
Sindhi
Telugu

(I don't see Urdu listed there--the friend who uses Tamil and the one who
uses Urdu both use Ubuntu).

Hope this helps a little. I would guess that most of the major Indian
language groups are supported.
