How to speak here

Petr Liška Wrote 28.01.2013:

Official language: Hindi and English. Other languages: Thanks to the varied ethnic composition, more than 1,000 other languages and dialects are spoken here. Of these, 22 are really significant. These are the so-called regional official languages. For example, Bengali (80 million speakers), Telugu (80 miles), Marathi (72 miles), Urdu (70 miles), Tamil (70 miles), etc. World languages: English is such a link language between languages, so you can speak it very well here. Scripture: in India it is written in Devanagara scripture. Fortunately, many important and tourist signs are in Latin.

Population

India has a population of approximately 1.3 billion, making it the world's second most populous country after China. Demographic models anticipate that it will be ahead of China in terms of population in the foreseeable future. In most areas there is such a high population density. Large cities are literally overcrowded. Nation: In general, all the people living here are called Indians, but there are a huge number of different ethnic groups. There are most Indo-Europeans (about 75%), then 24% of Dravids (south of the country). The rest have Tibetan roots (mainly north of the country)

Religion
