Are Indian regional languages declining?

By MindStick

Yes, Indian regional languages are declining.

English is seen as the language of opportunity in India, leading to a decrease in children's time spent learning and using their regional languages.

Hindi, the official language of India, is widely used in government, media, and education, reducing the need for learning other regional languages.

The rise of social media and the internet has aided the consumption of English-based content, resulting in a decline of regional languages.

According to linguist K.S. Singh, India has lost approximately 220 languages since 1961, with another 150 at risk of extinction in the next 50 years.
