The main linguistic cleavage in India is between _____ languages.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The main linguistic cleavage in India is between Indo-European languages (such as Hindi, Bengali, Punjabi, etc.) and Dravidian languages (such as Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, etc.). While there are also Tibeto-Burman languages spoken in India, they do not make up the main linguistic divide. Hindi and Urdu, while both Indo-European languages, are often considered different registers of the same language and are not a linguistic cleavage on their own.
