Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

There is extensive linguistic diversity in South Asia. Indo-European languages dominate the north, while Dravidian and Tamil languages are found in the South. India's states are based on linguistic differences. Increasingly, the role of Hindi is expanding, especially in the north. English is a common language used throughout the region because of the long history of British colonialism in the region. Hindi was declared the national or official language in 1947, however this alienated people such as those speaking Dravidian, Bengali, and Marathi languages creating cultural tension. In 1950 Hindi was thus demoted and today shares the position of official language with 23 separate languages in India.
