Language Recognition of Indian Sub-Continent
Author : Bhumika Patel and Dr. Shweta Gohel
Abstract :
South Asia, encompassing Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, hosts several hundred languages. Prominent among these are Hindi-Urdu and Bengali, the third and sixth most spoken languages globally, respectively. The region's languages primarily include Indo-Iranic and Dravidian languages, along with Austroasiatic and Tibeto-Burman families. English serves as the international lingua franca, significantly influencing South Asian languages since the colonial era. A notable result of this influence is Hinglish, an English-influenced variant of Hindustani, widely spoken in urban areas.
