Answer.

India is a linguistically diverse country. According to the report of Grierson and the Linguistic Survey of India (1903–1928), there were 179 languages ​​and about 544 dialects in the country. In modern India, there are about 22 scheduled languages ​​and many non-scheduled languages. The largest part of the Indian population speaks the Hindi language.

Modern Indian languages ​​can be classified into four major linguistic groups or language families:

• Indo-European or Aryan language family (73%)
• Dravidian language family (20%)
• Austric (Nishada) language family (1.38%)
• Sino-Tibetan (Kirata) language family (0.38%)

The following is a pie diagram of the linguistic structure of the Indo-speaking peoples:
