Too many Languages in India

Thanks god we have English as the international language. English is not my first language nor my mother’s language. But I must admit that English is the easy to understand language. English Grammar is hard, but because people don’t really use it properly and people still understand the bad grammar English.
But, how about India? It’s ok if Foreigner have difficulty there, but I found that the Indian whose cannot speak Hindi language well, also have difficulty too! That’s because there are hundreds of Indian language there.
However, there are only several languages that can be approved and used to be their national (Yep, only national.. and there are hundreds language to go! The Eighteen languages recognized by the country of India are:
1. Assamese.
2. Bengali.
3. Gujarati.
4. Hindi.
5. Kannada.
6. Kashmiri.
7. Konkani.
8. Malayalam.
9. Manipuri.
10. Marathi.
11. Nepali.
12. Oriya.
13. Punjabi.
14. Sanskrit.
15. Sindhi.
16. Tamil.
17. Telugu.
18. Urdu.
Geez… Better I use the Indian translator to understand so much language. If it’s for business, I rather hire a translator than studying the languages!
