Answer 1

Hint:
India's languages mainly belong to two major linguistic families, Indo-European and Dravidian. The other languages spoken in India come mainly from the linguistic families of Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman, as well as a few isolated languages.
Individual mother tongues in India number several hundred, and if major dialects are included, then even more.


Complete answer:
Though Hindi is the official language of India's central government, with English as a provisional official sub-language, any regional language can be adopted by individual state legislatures as the official language of that state.

Individual mother tongues in India number several hundred, and if major dialects are included, the number reaches above thousand easily

That’s why In India, we have more than 1,600 regional languages that are spoken as mother tongues. The people of that area speak different languages in different parts of our world.

People in Karnataka, for example, speak Kannada, Tamil people speak Tamil, people in Andhra speak Telugu, people in Kerala speak Malayalam, etc.

Therefore the answer is True .

Note:
The Constitution of India recognizes 23 official languages and two official classical languages, Sanskrit and Tamil that are spoken in various parts of the world.
Not only, we have more than 1,600 languages that are the mother tongues of people, but more than a hundred forms of dance exist in our country too.
Yet it is not often celebrated with this diversity. This is because, with individuals who look, speak, dress and think like us, we feel comfortable and protected.
