Sociolinguistics Research In India




Sociolinguistic research in India is the study of how the India n society affects and is impacted by the Languages Of The Country .

India is a highly multilingual nation, where many languages are spoken and also studied, both as part of Linguistics and with the aim of aiding community development. Though Theoretical and Comparative Linguistics have a long history in the country (dating back to perhaps the first millennium BCE), few researchers have concentrated on the Sociolinguistic situation of India.


CONTEXT

India is a particularly challenging and rewarding country in which to conduct sociolinguistic due to the large number of languages spoken in the country (415 are listed in the SIL Ethnologue ).
