29 States of India And Their Capitals And Languages – PDF Included

Last updated: October 16th, 2022

India is a vast country with a rich diversity of languages and cultural traditions. The nation is home to hundreds of distinct ethnic groups, each with its own customs and traditions. The Indian government has recognized the need to preserve and celebrate this cultural diversity, so it has created an elaborate system for identifying and categorizing India’s different states and languages.

One important aspect of this system is the classification of states according to language. There are 24 different officially recognized “major” languages in India, among which Hindi is the most widely spoken. Each state then typically has its own particular mix of official and unofficial languages, ranging from major national languages like Hindi or Tamil to more localized dialects like Konkani or Telugu. In addition, some states also have their own unique scripts that are used for writing various local languages.
