It is estimated that there are more than 1,500 individual languages on the Indian subcontinent. These include 15 main regional languages, each with over 20 million speakers. In the multi-ethnic nation of India, Hindi is the official language alongside English – the Indian constitution also recognizes another 21 languages that can serve as official languages on a regional basis. The official language of Pakistan – besides English – is Urdu, while in Bangladesh it is Bengali and Sinhala in Sri Lanka.
The Indian languages can be classified into four language families: The most commonly spoken are Indo-Aryan languages, which belong to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language groups. Speakers of these languages are estimated to number over 400 million. The second largest language group are Dravidian languages, which are spoken by approximately 150 million people; they constitute a separate language family comprising some 25 languages. A multitude of dialects can be classified as belonging to the Austroasiatic language family (Munda and Mon-Khmer languages, around six million speakers) and the Sino-Tibetan language family (Tibetan-Burmese languages, a few hundred thousand speakers).
The Indo-Aryan languages have a long-standing literary tradition; of particular importance in this context are ancient Indian Sanskrit and Vedic, the oldest Indo-Aryan language (around 1500 BC). The many different Indian scripts all evolved from the Brahmi script. They are all “Abugidas” – a hybrid of syllabic and alphabetic scripts – written from left to right.
