Semicolon in First Sentence

Can someone with an account add in a semicolon (;) to the first sentence (between 'Indians' and 'both'), so as to replace the comma. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.93.75.130 (talk) 16:50, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for pointing it out. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 04:17, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

Error: more than once - it is “number of speakers” not “amount of speaking”. Patrick Pregiato (talk) 15:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Thank you. Let us know if you see others. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 05:44, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect map

Map is incorrect. Hindi is official language of Jharkhand. Santali is additional official language of Jharkhand and West Bengal. Santali speaker are minority even in santali speaking area and spoken by 8% in Jharkhand and 2% in West Bengal. Only district where santali speaker are sizable number is Dumka district(~34%) Bengali is second official language of Jharkhand spoken by 9% and majority language in 4 district of Jharkhand such as East Singhbhum, Jamtara, Pakur and Sahibganj. Also there are 16 additional official language of Jharkhand. So showing Santali language in half of Jharkhand is incorrect. So map is incorrect map and map should be changed.

Incorrect classical language list.

The below statement is no longer valid as of 2024 due to addition of few more languages as "classical languages". See link: Classical Languages of India . Please fix.

"In addition, the Government of India has awarded the distinction of classical language to Kannada, Malayalam, Odia, Sanskrit, Tamil and Telugu." Ebebwiki (talk) 18:35, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
