Directions (Q. 21 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.

If the census tells us that India has two or three hundred languages, it also tells us, I
believe, that Germany has about fifty or sixty languages. I do not remember anyone
pointing out this fact in proof of the disunity or disparity of Germany. As a matter of
fact, a census mentions all manner of petty languages, sometimes spoken by a few
thousand persons only and often dialects are classed for scientific purposes as
different languages. India seems to me to have surprisingly few languages,
considering its area. Compared to the same area in Europe, it is far more closely allied
in regard to language, but because of widespread illiteracy, common standards have
not developed and dialects have formed. The principal languages of India are
Hindustani (of the two varieties, Hindi and Urdu), Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Tamil,

Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. If Assamese, Oriya, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pushtu and
Punjabi are added, the whole country is covered except for some hill and forest tribes.
Of these, the Indo-Aryan languages, which cover the whole north Centre and West of


India, are closely allied and the Southern Dravidian languages, though different, have
been greatly influenced by Sanskrit and are full of Sanskrit words.
