( ix) NOTE ON TH E LA NGUAGE DATA III tbe 1981 Census a new question on the 'Language mainly spoken in the Household' was asked in the Household Schedule along with the two usual language queStion on 'mother tongue' and 'Other languages known' in the individual slip. This information adds not only a new dimension to the language profile of the country but a useful one, for it provides a dynamic aspect of the language behaviour as against the more or less stable picture thrown up by the mother tongue data.
