I was searching for another meaning for .sg domain on Google and I saw lot of websites on the result list. I thought why not try Wikipedia. I entered it and it states,

.sg is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Singapore. It is..
In 2011, two new internationalized country code top-level domains were registered for Singapore, intended for domain names in the local languages. These domains will get domain names and working sites during 2011. These domains are .新加坡 and .சிங்கப்பூர்.

.新加坡 Domain? Hmm, have anyone seen any website with this domain?

Well chinese or japanese may have a lots of site with these domains, but as we can't even type it, its hard for anyone here to have visited a site with this kind of domain.

Well, agree with you. I dont even know there is this domain.
That is Chinese words and it mean ''singapore'' .

I think that there are some domains like this one, but it's very difficult for us to find them.

Yeah, maybe its vice versa for them as well, maybe they find it hard to type in a .com domain

I never came across one of these before, but then again it could be that I live in the US. It's pretty interesting to see a new TLD.

This may be the oldest TLD out there just saying. We just have no idea.

It was stated on the first post

I have came over such domains But I don't think these domains will be useful as most of the keyboards in the world have English letters.

[jacktheking]

Umm.. I have another question. Will domain such as .新加坡 and .சிங்கப்பூர் be useful for their own language search engine? Maybe .新加坡 will be useful for Baidu search engine?

Yes, search engines in these languages will index those type of domains. Can't say useful because you still would need a good content for it to get listed above even in those search engines.

ohh is there a TLD like that I have heard about it for the first time !

[Rick Ace]

I guess it's only natural for other countries to pitch in and use their own characters in domain names and URLs. The latin script is kinda boring, to be honest.

Anyone up for creating a sexier script? lol. That could be an interesting idea. Maybe it'll get to be "viral"?

[r.kun]

never heard before
i know little japanese (cause anime) but
it does not look like japanese
there are too many kanji lol
idk T-T

[singhabhishek251]

I know about this domain extension and many more. there are specific domain extensions for a website for each and every country.

[ImmenseFox]

Never saw it before in my life, and also as R.kun said, it does not look like japanese (I also watch anime ).
