The Census of India is the only comprehensive data source on languages in India and has been the pioneer in this field. This volume takes us to the fascinating world of the languages and mother tongues of India as derived from 1991 Census data. The data is based on the mother tongue of each individual which was ascertained through a question in the individual slip canvassed for the entire population. The mother tongue figures were compiled and grouped under the relevant language for presentation in the final table. The table C-7 presented in this volume comes under Part IV B(i) Social and Cultural tables and gives the data for India, States and Union Territory. The presentation of the 1991 languages data is based on the same principles as adopted for the presentation of the 1971 and 1981 data. In addition, the figures in respect of individual mother tongues have also been presented now. This will be of great use to many data users, Linguistic scholars and researchers including State Government and Local Bodies particularly in the context of the provision in Article 350 A of the Constitution of India which stipulates to provide facilities for instruction in mother tongue at the primary stage. It is important that data on mother tongues and languages are disseminated studied and researched extensively so that they flower and flourish, because it has been observed that if a language dies, thousands of years of experience, history, cultural diversity and the very identity of the people is lost forever.
The tabulation of these data was done manually under the guidance of the office of the Registrar General, India. As mentioned in the note on the language data contained in this volume, this table includes houseless households but excludes Institutional households.
The Director of Census Operations, Shri N.R. Varsani, I.A.S., uilder whose guidance the 1991 Census was carried out deserve all credit for the success of the Census Operations . . We must record our deepest sense of gratitude to Shri A.R. Nanda, LA.S., and Dr. M. Vijayanunni, LA.S., the former Registrar Generals, India and Shri J.K. Banthia, LA.S., the present Registrar General, India for their valuable guidance. Dr. B.P. Mahapatra, the former Deputy Registrar General (Language) and Shri A.K. Datta, Joint Director, D.C.O. WeH Bengal and incharge of Language Division and his colleagues deserve our thanks for patiently scrutinising the language data. Our thanks are due to Shri S.P. Sharma, Deputy Registrar General (Census & Tabulation) and Shri A.K. Singh, Deputy Director of Census Operations for their valuable guidance in execution of this publication. The names of other officials who contributed their mite in this effort are given in the acknowledgement separately. They deserve our thanks for their dedication for completing this task.

GENERAL NOTE
Language is an impOltant characteristic of a popUlation particularly in a pluri-lingual and p!uri-culturaJ country like India since no separate question is asked in the census on ethnicity except for the Scheduled Castes and S~hedliled Trihes. The language census literature that has grown over the last one hundred years of Indian census history has shed light on the ethnic and linguistIC composition of our country. In the 1991 census, two language questions were asked viz, "m.:)ther tongue" and "two other languages known" as ljuestion No.6 and 7 r~spectively in the Individual slip. To facilitate the preparation of the C-7 Table on full count ba&is Inanually from the- Household Schedules, the item "niother longue" was copied from the Individl~al slip on to column 8 of the Household Schedule. C!ear instructions were given to the census enumerators on the definition and the prClcedure for recorQing the languages returned by the respondents (see 11y leaf). Tbl: two questions on "mother tongue" and "two other languages known" were canvassed on the entire Indian population except Jammu & Kashmir where the 1991 Census could not be hdd due to disturbed condition:., p_s the instructions to the enumerator would show. the lespondent was made to feel free to return the name ofhislher mother tongue in reply to question 6 of the Individual Slir and the same was re(;Orded faithfully by the enumerator. This practice naturally leads to the recording of a very large number ofhnguage/mother tongue names from all over the country and the hH!!-e dat'l so coliet;ted is presented in a meaningful manner after thorough scrutin) following the usual linguistic methods by the census organisation for rational groupmg,
2. A total :..:2 languages is presented in two parts, Part-A-Scheduled Languages comprising of 15 languages and Part-B-Non-Scheduled languages comprising of7 languages and the remaining "lotal ('f other language:o. ". Consequent upon the passing of the 71 st Amendment Act, 1992 to the Constihltion of India and in pursuallce of Government of India, Notification No.55 dated 1.9. t 992, thlec languages vi::, Konkani. Manipuri and N~pali were added to the list of Eighth Schedu!e Languages.

Table Part-B gives the speakers of the 7 languages which are not included in the Eighth Schedule and the mother tongues included under each of these languages.
