Abstract
While cultural, political, ethnic, and religious diversity of India is often highlighted in the school curricula, its linguistic diversity, as represented in the variety of languages, dialects, and scripts, and the presence of multilingualism—the ability to use more than one language—does not receive similar academic attention. India is home to thousands of languages and dialects belonging to the four major language families namely Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, and Austro-Asiatic. Many of these languages are so different that they are mutually unintelligible. For example, speakers of Hindi, Tamil, and Manipuri cannot understand each other.
