So, this person thinks there are 229 languages in India, but actually there's a minimum of 325, possibly twice that?


I'm not an anthropological linguist, so I can't say with any authority. I only listed two figures there, but there are many more disputed figures.[1] There are a lot of difficulties classifying languages in India because the line between language and dialect can be tricky to pin down.
