Abstract
Language is an important attribute of a population, and has great relevance and
significance in a pluri-lingual and pluri-ethnic land like India. The Census of India has
been the richest source of language data collected and published at the successive
decennial censuses for more than a century. The language data is particularly useful in
the country having diverse people since no separate question is asked on their ethnicity
except in respect of the scheduled tribes. The language data having the ethnic and
linguistic characteristics of the population has thus been an indiscreet source of
information. The presentation of the language tables has been progressively improved in
terms of lucidity, detail to make it more comprehensible besides being user-friendly
