India's Language!
India has many languages. Even though most countries' language is called after what the people of those countries are called. But not India, first I though what Indians spoke was called Indian, because that's what people who live in India's called. Well, I was wrong, because India has many languages and there is no such language as Indian. Most people in India speak Hindi and English. But that doesn't mean everyone who's Indian speak Hindi or English, there are 22 languages in India and Hindi and English are just 2 official languages. Also, India's states have their own languages. There are 29 states and some states choose Hindi as their language, so 22 must right number for how many languages are in India. The reason why India has many languages, and that a lot of languages with a large population of speakers, is because India is such a large country, whose formation did not take into account ethic and linguistic division.

Good post Joonhugh! It was very interesting learning the languages in India, and I didn't know that there were 22 languages and only 2 official languages in India. Also I thought this is a unique post because it's about languages instead of food or other common topics. You also specified most things and it was a very long blog.
