The Indian census of 1961 recognized 1,652 different languages in India (including languages not native to the subcontinent).
The 1991 census recognizes 1,576 classified "mother tongues"
SIL Ethnologue lists 415 living "Languages of India" (out of 6,912 worldwide).
According to the 1991 census,
22 languages have more than a million native speakers,
50 have more than 100,000, and
114 have more than 10,000 native speakers.
The remaining languages account for a total of 566,000 native speakers (out of a total of 838 million Indians in 1991).
The largest language that is not one of the 22 "languages of the 8th Schedule" with official status is the Bhili language, with some 5.5 million native speakers (ranked 13th by number of speakers), followed by Gondi (15th), Tulu (19th) and Kurukh (20th). On the other hand, three languages with fewer than one million native speakers are included in the 8th Schedule for cultural or political reasons: English (40th), Dogri (54th) and Sanskrit(67th).
The Constitution also allows for the continuation of use of the English language for official purposes.
Article 345 provides constitutional recognition as "Official languages" of the union to any language adopted by a state legislature as the official language of that state.
