Linguistically India is divided into two major linguistic families, and few more smaller linguistic families.
Explanation:
India is a country that has the second highest number of languages spoken in one country, 780 to be more precise. The majority of the languages are part of the Indo-Aryan language family, with the Dravidian languages being the second most spoken languages. Some of the smaller linguistic families are the Austroasiatic, Sino-Tibetan, and Tai-Kadai. This enormous diversity when it comes to the languages in India comes from the enormous ethnic diversity among the people of India.
The Indo-Aryan languages dominate India, apart from the southern part where they are absent.
The Dravidian languages dominate the southern part of India.
The smaller linguistic families are either located on the periphery of the country, or have small dispersed enclaves across the country.
