COMMUNICATION

By Rollin, Phil, and Mackenzie

Most people in India speak English or Hindi.  

There are also 16 other major languages that are spoken.  The government hopes to make Hindi the national language.  In the southern part of India, many people refuse to speak Hindi.  They are worried if they use this language, the local languages will die out.

3-teen

4-charr
