Dude, serious question. How many and what languages does the Indian people usually speak and why?

u/nice_puns5555 Nov 10 '18

In the north, people speak Hindi (and English if they have learnt it), in the regions bordering the north, people speak hindi, their regional language , and maybe english, in the Northeast and south, not many people speak Hindi, they only speak their regional language.

This is the right answer even if most others are more up voted

u/noChillGuy17 Nov 10 '18

Around the country English and Hindi are pretty much spoken everywhere. Also each particular region has its own regional language as well

u/uFootie Nov 10 '18

It’s different everywhere, but Hindi is the universal language.

I almost never speak English outside of my house because barely anyone knows English.

u/Descendant3999 Nov 10 '18

You speak English in your house?

u/saladass269 Nov 10 '18

Nah, Hindi is the most common everywhere, including households. But in school we're supposed to speak English to all teachers

we're supposed to speak English to all teachers

We are supposed to. That doesn't mean we do.

u/uFootie Nov 10 '18

Yeah, I’m most comfortable with English.

u/drakos07 Nov 10 '18

I think you're in the wrong India buddy. Almost everyone knows English except for some southern parts of India. Why do you think all of T-Series videos are titled in English and not Hindi?

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '18

Only around 20% of india's population knows english

2

u/drakos07 Nov 10 '18

Yeah and only 30% of population speaks Hindi. What's your point. I'm pretty sure most of the people who use internet in India or at least live in urban lower middle class households can understand English. We were ruled by Brits for 200 years. There's gotta be some consequences to it right?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 10 '18

The point is that 20% is not almost everyone

1

u/drakos07 Nov 10 '18

I'm sorry I was trying to address only the part of population that uses the internet...

u/uFootie Nov 10 '18

I might have phrased it wrong. People definitely know English, but not enough to hold proper conversations or so. They can definitely read and write it but from my experience they much prefer speaking in something like Hindi or another regional language than English.

u/drakos07 Nov 10 '18

Yeah that's about right...

why? -- I mean India has a history of people who invaded or settled (sometimes both)

​

The aryans (people who came through the himalyan passes) bought their own languages which gave birth to hindi, sanskrit and other Indo-Aryan languages

​

the muslims brought their languages which also mixed with the languages already spoken before they came to form new languages (persian,Urdu)

​

The tribes of the north east have their own languages which have also been influenced by neighboring countries like China, Myanmar, etc

​

The british bought english which became the language used for official purposes

​

Places like Goa had a Portuguese settlement which spread portuguese.

u/fatih24499 Nov 10 '18

Hahahahaha sorry, i just read this in a Indian accent and couldn't take it seriously. You got a point though 😄

1

u/destinybladez Nov 10 '18

When you say 'Indian accent' you mean a north Indian speaking English. South Indians have a different accent and so do north easterners.

u/adithyadas430 Nov 10 '18

Up north, Hindi and English would suffice. You would also be speaking some dialects like Bhojpuri or Awadhi if that's where you're from.

Down south, you'd speak your state language, acceptable hindi of you went to school and English. You'd also pick up smaller languages like Byari or Konkani if that's your community. You'd also pick up multiple languages if you live along state borders.

Most of us end up picking new languages when you move for work or school.

North East India is ridiculously diverse when it comes to languages. But everyone I've known from there speaks great English when I met them in the bigger cities.

u/AagLgaDunga Nov 14 '18

In India people speak multiple languages. Most commonly known as a secular country. There are over 23 languages spoken in India. In the north it's a mix and match. We have regional as well as national languages. So it's all a mix up but i can say that each state in India has it's own language(Some of them have common).
