Indian language..!

[SiWan]

Hello,
I have some questions referring to the indian language. I'm not an indian, but I am very interested in indian culture. So, I heard, that there are over 415 idioms and 23 constitution languages. I wanted to know, if all of these 415 idioms can communicate and understand each other. I ask this question, because I am a kurd and we have also different idioms and some of us cannot communicate together..

So, how is it with the indian languages? Thanks for your replies..

Hi SiWan. Glad to answer your question.

I know my country India has 23 official languages which are the biggest languages but I read that the ones numbering 415 are also complete languages but they aren't major enough to be counted as official languages (they have less than 1000 speakers each)

Needless to say none of these languages are mutually intelligible. Some languages share a few words or similarity in letters (some even share the exact same letters) but full speeches and texts are not recognizable across languages.

To overcome this gap India follows two languages for national communication- Hindi and English. Hindi is one of the 23 official languages of India and has been given the status of "National Language". English is widely used across India in education, business, media etc.

Hope I was of help :)

Take care.

I think isn't possible that all of these 415 415 idioms can communicate an undestand each other ... In Italy , for examples ... in 3 near city , we can speak 3 completely different idioms and , frequently , we can't understand each other .

You're right, Lele-R1. Most of these minor languages are different enough that people speaking one of them cannot understand another one.

But in geographically close-by areas, there are significant similarities between the dialects. A person speaking one of these languages can have *some* basic communication with a person speaking a closely-related one.
