Eva's Interesting Map: Languages of India

 


It's known that there are many different cultures and people in India. But I didn't realize just how many languages were spoken within the country. This map shows what regions of India speak a specific language. When people think of languages spoken in India, they may think of Hindi as the main language, but there are actually 121 languages spoken there. I find this to be very interesting because it makes me wonder how culture varies from each region just bease on the language they speak. Could there be any conflicts do tho the many different languages?

There are many aspects in Indian culture that are still prevelent today. These are a result of cultural diffusion within the country. One thing this map has made me wonder is if all these languages were first spoken in India or if they were brought by other settelers and were then picked up by the Indian people. I think it would be interesting to learn about some of the history behind these languages. I would like to know if it is hard for people to nevigate the different regions of India because there are so many languages spoken there.
