It’s actually really easy to figure out various scripts because some of them letters looks almost the same way as in the Devanagari script. I figured out Arabic since many letters look like a cursive version of Hebrew (I was raised w English and Hebrew).Out of Indian languages I am really interested in Hindi Bengali and Gujarati, and I would like to choose on one South Indian/Dravidian language to learn, but it’s really hard to choose because they’re all so beautiful, both the words and the scripts!

Now answering the questions you have asked at the end. I am from Karnataka, one of the southern state in India. My mother tongue is Kannada and I have equal proficiency in English and Hindi. I can read Marathi (because it is same script as Hindi - Devnagri) but might not understand everything I have read. I can also read Telugu (script is similar to Kannada), well almost, but can't speak however I can understand it pretty well. I can understand Tamil, Urdu and Punjabi due to good exposure.

Tamil has the unique distinction of remaining a spoken language for more than 4000 years. Among the oldest languages of the world - Hebrew, Greet, Sanskrit, Chinese and Tamil, only Tamil and Chinese are the two living languages. Tamil is spoken by around 60 million people in India and by about 40 Tamil million people living in Sri Lanks, Burma, Singapore, Malaysia, Mauritius, United Kingdom, US and many European countries. Tamil has voluminous literature that are thousands of years old and that have been preserved and printed even now. The oldest literature of Tamil ‘Tholkappiyam’ that is ancient to Vedas . Everybody should try reading திருக்குறள் ( Tirukkural).Considered one of the greatest works ever written on ethics and morality, it is known for its universality and secular nature. Love from Tamil Nadu to all our Indian languages 🇮🇳.வாழ்க தமிழ் வளர்க இந்திய 💥.

You can at least express basic ideas if you have a cache of Sanskrit vocabulary. Before the British rule that was the case. During the sultanate and Mughal era, Farsi or Persian was the court language and therefore all legal documents were written in them. But you also received a copy in Sanskrit at the same time. This is extremely important for land deeds. So there were courtiers who were proficient in both.

I proudly asked the person behind the counter in Hindi for ice cream (or so I thought). He looked at me and his eyes opened wide. I made my statement again and he was trying not to laugh. I said it a third time and he bust out laughing so hard he was crying! He then told everyone in the ice cream parlor what I said and everyone started laughing. He then told me that what I said in Hindi "I am a Cow,. Give me milk!". I blushed beet red, which made it even more funny.

I am from Malaysia where English and Tamil are widely spoken (alongside Malay and Mandarin Chinese). I went to India twice this year, Rajasthan in the north on January and Kerala in the south on November. Based on my limited observation, I found South Indians are much conversant in English as compared to their northern counterparts. I even bumped into many Southern Indians during my trip in Rajasthan where we had longer and deeper conversations. The funny thing when I was in Kerala, I have this habit to observe how closely related Malayalam and Tamil are given both are Dravidian languages. I tried to compare words by words and see whether Malayalam sounds similar to Tamil, especially I have been picking up basic Tamil from my Malaysian friends of ethnic Indian-Tamil. Regardless, I miss and I love India!

Hindi is very cemented in the North where it is more prominent in business and media. The South has a strong pro-local native language attitude and crucially was favored by the British during colonial times, with many Christian communities and plantation workers exported to other countries like Malaysia and Fiji from the south. Kerala in particular has one of the highest fluency levels of English. the Indian nationalist movement was rooted in the north as well, so the prevalance of Hindi is stronger there.

Thanks for the kind words brother. 🙏🏽 😊 I’m from Kerala. Yes not all South Indian languages are Similar and not all of us can understand each other. Only Tamil and Malayalam sounds very similar and we can understand each other. It’s because Malayalam came from Tamil language and got mixed with Sanskrit(north Indian language).

geotrisi While it makes me really happy to see people from Europe trying to learn Sanskrit and get familiar with the Dharmic culture, it also saddens me that us Indians on the other hand, are drifting away from our roots and our millennia old culture. Sanskrit is barely taught in our schools and no one takes it seriously with most amount of emphasis on English. As far as culture is concerned, we are slowly trying to imitate and adopt the Western culture because it is "cool". If you're in a big city in India and you can't speak English, you're find people looking you in a funny way. In any case, keep at it brother, atleast our ancient culture and languages will still be alive somewhere in the world. Good luck.

I lived in India for five years (2013-2018). Two years in Cochin (Kerala) and three years in Bangalore (Karnataka) with often traveling all over the country. My native language is Russian (with good understanding of a few other Slavic languages) and I speak English, Italian, French and basics of Hindi. So I didn't have many problems with communicating in English in the South of the country generally, even with cab drivers or in shops. The literacy level and English fluency particularly is very high in the South of India in comparison with the rest of the country. There were only two issues, they are as follows: 1) the accent as an influence of their native language phonetics (I've heard from Western speakers the name "Indian accent" but it's truly hilarious as they are very different); 2) and some very poor less-educated people spoke only their own language. The main conclusion is that Hindi is almost useless in the very South of India and it could help only in 20% of cases in comparison with English. And in Tamil Nadu it can be even dangerous to speak Hindi. By the way in the video you told that all the states were granted with opportunity to choose their language to be the main state language. However I know that initial intention was to spread Hindi all over the country but it provoked almost a civil war in Tamil Nadu as they are very proud to have Tamil. After that the central government was ought to "grant" that freedom. As to the North of the country people speak Hindi there and English is very difficult to find among general public. However young educated people speak English very well. Even though North Indians use a lot of English words in their Hindi, up to 20% from my observation and it's apparently very handy to understand them.

See Speaking hindi in Tamilnadu is not dangerous as you mentioned in your comment, There lots of people migrated from the north especially from Uttar Pradesh, Madya Pradesh and Bihar for work and they live peacefully, In Tamilnadu you can speak in any language you choose but what we oppose is forcing one particular language just because they are in Majority.

Her father is a Gujarathi, her mother is a Bengali, & her husband speaks Telugu. So She can speak Hindi, English, Kannada, Telugu, Gujarathi and Bengali fluently. The second woman is from Bombay. She said she is Marathi. She is fluent in Hindi, English and Marathi languages. The third woman was born in the US for Panjabi parents. She can speak Panjabi, Hindi and English fluently. Now I am the only one who cannot speak Hindi. But all these women are my co-workers and wonderful to work with.

I can understand Telugu now because I've started watching Telugu movies .. Telugu is easy for me coz Kannada and Telugu are pretty similar.. but I don't know to write and read in any language other than Kannada , Hindi, English...

I'm from India .. and most of the Indians know atleast more than 3 languages.. so it isn't a big deal here for a person to know multiple languages.. because there are 200+ officially recognised languages and 1500+ dialects are spoken across the nation..

আমার মাতৃভাষা বাংলা এবং আমি যেখানে যাই সেখানেই আমি বাংলায় কথা বলি কারণ এটি আমার রাজ্যের সরকারি ভাষা। लेकिन मैं हिंदी भी बोलता हूं और इसमें काफी अच्छा हूं। I use Hindi when I have to talk to Hindi speakers in Kolkata or as a default when I see a Non-Bengali. And apart from that میں تھوڑی سی اردو جانتا ہوں۔ মই অসমীয়া বুজিব পাৰিছো but only because I know Bengali. And I have a French Test tomorrow, so J'espère que tous ceux qui verront cela passeront une excellente journée.

There's a very popular saying in India. "कोस-कोस पर पानी बदले, चार कोस पर वाणी।" "Kos kos par pani badle, char kos par vaani." MEANING - With every kos water changes, at four kos voice(dialect) changes. कोस "kos" is an ancient indian subcontinent measuring unit, Equal to 3000 metres. It comes from Sanskrit word क्रोश "krosa" meaning "call".

India does not have any "National language" only official languages. A large area of people don't even bother learning Hindi because nobody speaks it in the particular regions. It is only because the population of the Hindi speaking belt is very high that some of them mistake it to be a National language. English is more wide spread though. Hindi is more concentrated in a certain belt.
