After two years of preparation, Odia Wikisource goes online for over 40 million native speakers https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-launch-of-odia-wikisource/ @OdiaWiki > > t: Have you read "The Odia Bhagabata"?

With that, let's use this as double-down tweet: Mountains of free books for over 40 million people. Odia Wikisource is now online. https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-launch-of-odia-wikisource/ @OdiaWiki > > t: Wikisource is now available in Odia, an Indic language spoken by over 40 > million people! > https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-launch-of-odia-wikisource/ > > t: Despite more than 40 million native speakers, Odia's online presence has > been small; but that's about to change > https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/21/more-than-40-million-people-await-the-launch-of-odia-wikisource/ > > f/g: Mountains of books for over 40 million people.

Also, adding the mention of the group or page: Despite more than 40 million native speakers, Odia's online presence has been relatively small. But with the launch of Odia Wikisource, that's changing.
