In addition to its many other attractions, India offers incredible linguistic diversity. There is no one ‘Indian’ language as such, which is probably part of the reason why English is still widely spoken more than 50 years after the British left India and why it’s still in official use. The Constitution recognises another 22 languages – apart from these, over 1600 minor languages and dialects are spoken throughout the country. Most of India’s languages have their own script, but written English is also quite common. Except for Urdu, which is written in a modified version of the Arabic script, all other alphabets have developed from India’s ancient Brahmi script. The languages of India fall into two major groups: Indic (or Indo-Aryan) and Dravidian. The Indic languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family (to which English belongs) and they were brought to India by the peoples of Central Asia. Around 74% of the population, predominantly in the north, speak one of the Indic languages, with Hindi as the main representative. The Dravidian languages, such as Tamil, are believed to be native to India, although they have been influenced by Sanskrit and Hindi throughout history. The Dravidian languages are spoken by about 24% of the population, mainly in the south of India. For many educated Indians, English is virtually their first language, and for the large number of Indians who speak more than one language, English is often their second tongue. Major efforts have been made to promote Hindi as the national language of India and to gradually phase out English. However, while Hindi is the predominant language of the north, it bears little relation to the Dravidian languages of the south – subsequently, very few people in the south speak Hindi and there is strong support for the retention of English.

did you know? • Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages in the world (dating from around 1000 BC). The sacred Hindu texts, the Vedas, and classical literature such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana, were written in this Indic language, which is now one of India’s official languages. • The most commonly used numeral system in the world, the positional decimal system, was developed in ancient India. The numerals used in English and other languages worldwide (ie 1, 2, 3 …) also originate from India – they developed from the Brahmi numerals which date back to the 3rd century BC. • Unesco declared 21 February the International Mother Language Day, commemorating the day in 1952 when students from Dhaka University were shot dead by police as they campaigned for the recognition of Bengali as the official language of East Pakistan (now Bangladesh).

ASSAMESE Õü÷Ïûþ±

introduction Despite being related to other languages of northern India, most closely to Bengali, Assamese (ak·so·mee·a Õü÷Ïûþ±) sounds distinctly non-Indian: it has none of the peculiar ‘r’-flavoured consonants of other Indian languages. This is due to past contact with unrelated languages in the surrounding areas of Southeast Asia. Assamese, spoken by around 13 million people in India (mostly in the state of Assam), is a member of the Indo-European family’s Indo-Aryan branch, therefore distantly related to the languages of Europe. As one of the languages used to write the Charyapadas, the mysterious millennium-old palm-leaf manuscripts containing Buddhist songs, Assamese has a long literary tradition. It’s written in Assamese script, which is similar to that of Bengali. The British forced the people of Assam to use Bengali in the colonial times of the early 1800s – however, due to fierce opposition from the locals, they reinstated Assamese as the main official language a half-century later. Try your hand (or rather tongue) at Assamese – this will surely endear you to its proud owners!

BENGALI h¡wm¡

introduction Bengali (baang·la h¡wm¡) is spoken by approximately 220 million people, ranking it as the fourth most spoken language in the world. As well as being the official language of Bangladesh and the Indian states of Tripura and West Bengal, it’s also spoken by large communities in North America and parts of Europe and the Middle East. Bengali belongs to the Indic group of the Indo-European language family, with Sanskrit, Hindi, Assamese and Oriya as close relatives. Old Bengali, with its distinctive Brahmi script, had developed by about AD1000 and was strongly flavoured with Prakrit and Sanskrit words, to be spiced up with Persian, Arabic and Turkish vocabulary when Bengal was conquered by Muslims in the 12th century AD. Today’s Bengali has two literary forms – sha·d’u·b’a·sha p¡d¤i¡o¡ (lit: elegant language), the traditional literary style of 16th-century Middle Bengali, and chohl·ţi·b’a·sha Qm¢a i¡o¡ (lit: running language), a more colloquial form based on the Bengali spoken in Kolkata. The best-known Bengali author is Rabindranath Tagore, the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913 and writer of the national anthems of both India and Bangladesh. bengali 200 km 100 mi

GUJARATI gujratI

introduction Gujarati (gu·ja·raa·tee gujratI), spoken by approximately 46 million people in India (primarily in the state of Gujarat), was the mother tongue of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. ‘Gandhi’ means ‘grocer’ in Gujarati, although the great Mahatma was certainly not restricted by his name! Gandhi, thought of as the father of the modern Indian nation, was also referred to as baa·pu bapu (lit: father) throughout India. He was passionate about his native language and wrote a number of works in Gujarati, many of which were later translated into English. Gujarati has a rich literary tradition and is written in the Gujarati script. Like most other languages of northern India, Gujarati is a member of the Indo-Aryan language family, with Sanskrit as its ancestor. The English words ‘bungalow’ and ‘tank’ both have their origins in Gujarati, from bang·a·lo b'glo and tan·kung 2a'ku' respectively. Have a crack at the language of the champion of nonviolence – should you make mistakes, there’s certainly nothing to fear from its generous speakers!

HINDI ihNdI

introduction Hindi (hin·dee ihNdI) belongs to the the Indo-Aryan group of the Indo-European language family. It has about 600 million speakers worldwide, of which 180 million are in India. Hindi developed from Classical Sanskrit, which appeared in the Indus Valley at about the start of the Common Era, and by the European Middle Ages it became known as ‘Hindvi’. During the Islamic Mughal Empire, which ruled northern India from the 16th century until the mid-19th century, the Hindu population adopted many new words from Arabic, Persian and Turkish but continued to write in Devanagari script, while the version written in Arabic script became known as Urdu. However, Hindi and Urdu share a common core vocabulary and are generally considered to be one spoken language with two different scripts. After the end of the British rule and Partition in 1947, Hindi was granted official status along with English, with 21 other languages recognised in the Constitution. The contact between the two languages is reflected in the vocabulary – ‘jungle’, ‘khaki’, ‘pyjama’, ‘shampoo’ and ‘veranda’ are just some of the common words that entered English from Hindi. hindi 500 km 250 mi

In this chapter, the Hindi pronunciation is given in green after each phrase. Aspirated consonants (pronounced with a puff of air after the sound) are represented with an apostrophe after the letter – b’, ch’, d’, đ’, g’, j’, k’, p’, t’ and ţ’. Retroflex consonants (pronounced with the tongue bent backwards) are included in this table. Each syllable is separated by a dot, and the syllable stressed in each word is italicised. For example: xUNy;

KANNADA PÀ£ÀßqÀ

introduction Fancy being able to impress former Miss World and darling of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai, in her native tongue? Try some Kannada phrases, such as: nee·vu ba·ha·ļa sun·da·ra·vaa·gi·dee·ra ¤ÃªÀÅ §ºÀ¼À ¸ÀÄAzÀgÀªÁV¢ÃgÀ! (You’re very beautiful!). Native speakers of Kannada (kan·na·da PÀ£ÀßqÀ), like Ms Rai, are called kan·na·di·ga·ru PÀ£ÀßrUÀgÀÄ (Kannadigas) and there are about 38 million of them in India, mostly in Karnataka. A Dravidian language related to Tamil and Malayalam, Kannada is written in its own distinct script. It has a long written tradition – copper-plate inscriptions of the Ganga kings of Talakadu date back at least 1500 years. There are several different dialects of Kannada and, in the past, they were closely linked to caste (determined by the structure of Hindu society), although class (determined by wealth and education) is becoming more important in modern times. The literary and spoken versions of Kannada also differ considerably, with the spoken version provided in this chapter – so you can talk to the people at the local market, as well as Bollywood celebrities!

KASHMIRI kSamaIrI

introduction We can thank the Kashmiri, experts in cheating the Himalayan chill, for the word ‘cashmere’ in English. Kashmiri (kash·mee·ree kSamaIrI) is spoken in the valley of Kashmir at the foothills of the Himalayas: a beautiful area, situated mostly in the Jammu and Kashmir state of India. There are about 5.5 million speakers of Kashmiri, a member of the Dardic subgroup of the Indo-Aryan language family. It’s written using a variation of the Perso-Arabic script or, as in this chapter, in the Devanagari script. You might try impressing the locals with your knowledge of some of their colourful proverbs, such as euky sund keu·syaa·niu bey·i sund giu·zaa A^@ya sauMd k^isayaana’ baoiya sauMd ga’ja,a (literally ‘One person’s vomit is another’s food’), meaning ’One person’s trash is another’s treasure’; or eu·kis da·zaan deūr byaak’ vush·naa·vaan at’ A^iksa dja,ana da^r byaaK vauSanaavaana Aqa’ (literally ‘When one man’s beard is on fire, another man warms his hands on it’), meaning ‘People often take advantage of someone else’s misery’.

Consonants

In this chapter, the Kashmiri pronunciation is given in pink after each phrase. Aspirated consonants (pronounced with a puff of air after the sound) are represented with an apostrophe after the letter – ch’, k’, p’, t’, ţ’ and ts’. Retroflex consonants (pronounced with the tongue bent backwards) are included in this table. Each syllable is separated by a dot. For example: Aadaba. aa·daab

KONKANI PÉÆAQÚ

introduction The 2.5 million Konkani speakers living in India are a diverse lot: they live on the west coast of India in the states of Goa, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Kerala, they practise Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, and they write in the Devanagari, Roman, Arabic, Kannada and Malayalam scripts. In 1987, after years of political debate, Konkani (konk·ņee PÉÆAQÚ) finally became the official language of Goa, the home of trance music and Goan prawn curry. The name Goa is reportedly derived from the Konkani word go·yan UÉÆAAiÀiïA (meaning ‘a patch of tall grass’), though Goa is probably better known for its beautiful beaches. An Indo-Aryan language related to Gujarati and Marathi, Konkani has also been influenced by Sanskrit, Portuguese, Perso-Arabic and Kannada. The Devanagari script (used to write Hindi and Marathi) is now the official writing system for Konkani in Goa. However, a large number of Konkani speakers in Karnataka use the Kannada script, as given in this chapter. So don’t get stuck in a Goan trance – get out there and have a go at speaking Konkani.

In this chapter, the Konkani pronunciation is given in red after each phrase. Aspirated consonants (pronounced with a puff of air after the sound) are represented with an apostrophe after the letter – b’, đ’, g’, k’, m’, t’ and ţ’. Retroflex consonants (pronounced with the tongue bent backwards) are included in this table. Each syllable is separated by a dot, and the syllable stressed in each word is italicised. For example: ªÉļÁåA. meļ·yaang

MALAYALAM ÎÜÏÞ{¢

introduction Malayalam (ma·la·ya·lam ÎÜÏÞ{¢) is a Dravidian language related to Tamil, in which its name is purported to mean ‘language of the mountain region’. It has around 33 million speakers, primarily in the Indian state of Kerala. Malayalam is written in the curly Malayalam script, used in this chapter, and occasionally in the Arabic script. This language is the source of the English words ‘copra’ (dried coconut), from the Malayalam kop·pa·ra æμÞMù, and ‘teak’ (brown colour), from the Malayalam tek·ka çÄAí. Other culturally significant Malayalam terms include mun·tu Îámí, the local white- or cream-coloured version of the ubiquitous Indian dhoti (loincloth), and ka·la·rip·pa·jat·t’i μ{øßMÏxí, a local form of martial arts. A huge 40% of Malayalam vocabulary can be traced back to borrowings from Sanskrit. The language is rapidly moving into modern times, with influence from English and the coining of new terms, such as a·di·po·li ¥¿ßæÉÞ{ß, equivalent to ‘awesome’ or ‘wow’ in English. So give the following words and phrases a try – they’re totally, like, adipoli!

In this chapter, the Malayalam pronunciation is given in orange after each phrase. Aspirated consonants (pronounced with a puff of air after the sound) are represented with an apostrophe after the letter – b’, ch’, d’, đ’, g’, j’, k’, p’, t’ and ţ’. Retroflex consonants (pronounced with the tongue bent backwards) are included in this table. Each syllable is separated by a dot, and the syllable stressed in each word is italicised. For example: ÆÏÕÞ-Ïß-.

MARATHI ×é¢Õ§ü¿æ

introduction Bollywood fans may already recognise some of the more colourful Marathi expressions. Mumbai slang (mum·bai·cha ×é¢Õ§ü¿æ), a rough-and-ready mix of Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Konkani and English, often features in the popular Hindi films. Spoken by an estimated 71 million people, Marathi (ma·raa·t’i ×ÚUæÆUè) is the official language in Maharashtra and is spoken in bordering areas. It’s also the language of cricketing icon and Mumbai native Sachin Tendulkar. Marathi belongs to the southern branch of the Indo-Aryan language family, with influences from Telugu and Kannada. Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese and Persian have also left their mark. Present-day written Marathi is a slightly modified version of the Devanagari script (used for Hindi) and is encouragingly called bal·bod ÕæÝÕæðÏ, meaning ‘can be understood by a child’. While you don’t need to master the writing to communicate with the mum·bai·kar ×é¢Õ§ü·¤Ú (people of Mumbai), the phrases in this chapter will certainly help you on your way. marathi
