Did you know India has more languages than countries?
Imagine you're planning a family reunion with relatives from India. You want everyone to communicate easily, but you're overwhelmed by the different languages spoken.
Think of India's languages like a huge menu at a restaurant. To order food, you'd need to know the language of the menu. The technical term is "language diversity."
Example
If one family member speaks Hindi and another speaks Tamil, you'd need to know both languages to understand them.
Remember this
Recognizing language diversity helps you connect with more people by understanding their unique ways of communication.
