Indian linguistic diversity is unparalleled and incomparable to other countries’ languages. Do you know we don’t have any national language, but only official languages? That’s crazy, right!

Here are 4 such amazing facts for you concerning our languages.

Firstly, we have 1652 listed ‘mother tongues’ as counted during the Census of 1961.  Secondly, the world has more Hindi-speaking population than English or Spanish. This has made Hindi the second-most spoken language globally. Bengali ranks 7^th and Punjabi stands at 10^th in the global rank.

Thirdly, one of Dravidian languages, known by the name Brahui has Indian roots. And, more than 1 million Pakistani and Afghani population speaks this dialect. Fourthly, the declaration of International Mother Language Day by UNESCO in 1999 was to honour the 1952’s Bengali Language Movement.
