@Jolie 155 languages with sizable proportion? Can you tell proportion of any 22 (if you can’t find you can show atleast 15) languages other than 22 languages in Eight schedule? BTW these 22 languages are scheduled languages and the choice of state for official language is not limited to these 22 languages, they can choose any language spoken in the state.

I’m afraid I don’t know the in depth details, you would be perhaps most learned about this issue and can most certainly add to my knowledge. The point I was trying to make was that 22 languages got the *official status *out of 155. Of course in realty, you can communicate in as many languages as you want, official status or not. But as of now, there are 22 official languages in India, 15 on currency note. Are any riots taking place to get the other 7 languages on the notes?

The thread is very much about granting official status to languages, otherwise contrary to what you may read here, Pakistan hasn’t banned any group (never in history) from speaking their mother tongue at home or outside or wherever.
