Does everyone speak Hindi in India? Or at least in all urban areas?
Also, how similar are Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada? More similar than French and Spanish, or less?
Hmm looks like I was under the mistaken impression that Hindi was only spoken in northern India.shaloo said:hi,
My mother tongue is Telugu (a South Indian Language)
So, can read, write and speak telugu very fluently.
Hindi is my national language and i can read, write and speak.
Kannada- yeah, im fine with this language,though i can only read and speak
Tamil- i can understand well and can express whatever i need
Sanskrit- I learnt it in college; i write and read sanskrit, but don't speak.
English- im quite fluent
French- i've been learning it for 18 months now and im comfortable(but my vocab levels need a boosting).
Spanish- Learning(...I mean just started).
I've fallen in love with Bengali and i can make out things
(must gather myself up and start working towards learning it)
I've voted 5 (telugu, hindi, english,kannada,french)
