The Hindi language support on Alexa is still in progress and is in its early stage. According to Amazon, the development of integrating Hindi to Alexa is still under process as the company has acknowledged that Alexa is capable of understanding Hinglish commands and making it adopt Hindi would be an uphill task.
Amazon said that making Alexa understand Hindi is easier but the problem is the same language in other dialects and accents for which Alexa will be required to understand and respond accordingly. Alexa is also planning on introducing other Indian regional languages that include Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati and Kannada.
Amazon is planning on making Alexa more natural and conversational with humans using new Machine Learning capabilities.
Right now, Amazon Alexa is currently available in more than 80 countries with support in 14 languages.
