== Regional languages == |
|||
In [[British India]], English was the sole language used for [[Public administration|administrative]] purposes as well as for [[higher education]] purposes. When India became independent in [[1947]], there was a challenge to the Indian [[legislators]] of picking up a language for official communication as well as for communication between different linguistic regions across India. The choices available were |

== 地区语言 == |
|||
* Making Hindi, which is spoken by a plurality of the people (just more than 40%) in India, as an official language. Although some Hindi-understanding peoples' [[Mother tongue]] only has slight resemblance to the language Hindi itself. |
|||
在印度被[[英国]]统治时期,行政单位只能使用[[英语]],[[1947年]]印度独立后选择一个本土官方语言非常困难,虽然印地语被定为中央政府官方语言,但印度实际以印地语作为母语的人不超过40%,使用其他语言的人,尤其是南方各邦,学习印地语非常困难,所以各邦都确定自己的官方语言。但由于高等教育需要使用统一的语言,造成学生学习的困难,现在各邦正在实行一种渐进的语言教学法。 |
|||
从[[2007年]]开始,印度最著名的15所大学统一入学考试,已经改变了方式,试卷虽然仍然只使用两种语言(印地语和英语)出题,但学生答题允许使用下列语言之一:英语、阿萨姆语、孟加拉语、古吉拉特语、印地语、马来雅兰语、马拉地语、奥里萨语、旁遮普语、信地语、泰米尔语、泰卢固语和[[乌尔都语]]。<ref>[http://www.indiaresults.com/Career_Guidance/IIT/default.htm Indian Institute of Technology, IIT, IIT-JEE, Joint Entrance Examination, IITJEE, IIT JEE, IIT Delhi, Chennai, Guwahati, Mumbai, Kanapur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Screening Test, Main Examination]</ref> |

* Others e.g. [[South Indians]], particularly [[Tamils]], and those from [[Mizoram]] and [[Nagaland]] prefer English for official medium of communication. {{See also|Anti-Hindi agitations}} |

语言问题在印度造成多次争取语言权利的冲突,最早起源于[[泰米尔纳德邦]],反对将印地语早为唯一官方语言,这次运动导致[[达罗毗荼进步联盟党]]占领了几乎整个邦议会席位,<ref>http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/01/16/stories/2005011600260300.htm</ref> 也有其他几个邦开始效法,挑战中央政府权威,现在[[马哈拉施特拉邦]]和[[卡纳塔克邦]]政府已经宣布在义务教育阶段使用本邦官方语言。<ref>http://www.ibnlive.com/news/marathi-a-must-in-maharashtra-schools/28502-3.html</ref> |

<!-- |
|||
印度政府正在试图采取各种措施以缓和语言冲突问题。 |
|||
===Practical Problems=== |
|||
Choosing Hindi as an official language presents serious problems to every person whose "Mother Tongue" is not Hindi. This may be a huge burden for children who have to learn Hindi completely just to advance to the next level in education. This is because all the [[Boards of Education in India|boards of education]] across India, recognized the 'need' of training people to one common language. There are many complaints that in [[North India]], non-Hindi speakers undergo considerable difficulties on account of language. |

|||
Also because of the large population involved ([[India]] is the second most populous country in the world), it is challenging to find a solution. |

Local [[Official language commission]]s have been established and various steps are taken in a direction to reduce tensions and frictions.--> |

===Changes in 2007=== |

* India's most prestigious [[Indian Institute of Technology]] entrance, most popularly known as [[IIT-JEE]], has changed its format. In 2007, the questions are posed in either [[Hindi]] or [[English language|English]], and students can answer in one of these languages: English, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu.<ref>[http://www.indiaresults.com/Career_Guidance/IIT/default.htm Indian Institute of Technology, IIT, IIT-JEE, Joint Entrance Examination, IITJEE, IIT JEE, IIT Delhi, Chennai, Guwahati, Mumbai, Kanapur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Screening Test, Main Examination]</ref>--> |

==Language conflicts== |
|||
{{See|Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu|Pure Tamil movement|Gokak agitation}} |
|||
There are some significant conflicts over [[linguistic rights]] in India. |
|||
The first major linguistic conflict, known as the [[Anti-Hindi agitations of Tamil Nadu]] took place in Tamil Nadu against the implementation of Hindi as the sole official language of India. Political analysts consider this as a major factor in bringing [[Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam|DMK]] to power and leading to the ousting and nearly total elimination of the Congress party in Tamil Nadu.<ref>http://www.hindu.com/mag/2005/01/16/stories/2005011600260300.htm</ref> Strong cultural pride based on language is also found in other Indian states such as Bengal, Maharashtra, Karnataka and to a certain extent in Kerala. To express disapproval of the imposition of an alien language Hindi on its people as a result of the central government overstepping its constitutional authority, Maharashtra and Karnataka Governments made the state languages compulsory in educational institutions.<ref>http://www.ibnlive.com/news/marathi-a-must-in-maharashtra-schools/28502-3.html</ref> |
|||
Recently anti Hindi feelings have been expressed in [[Mumbai]] by [[Shiv Sena]] and [[Maharashtra Navnirman Sena]]<ref>http://www.indianexpress.com/news/abu-azmi-slapped-by-mns-mla-for-taking-o.../539149/</ref> |
|||
The [[Government of India]] attempts to assuage these conflicts with various campaigns, coordinated by the [[Central Institute of Indian Languages]] (CIIL), [[Mysore]], a branch of the Department of Higher Education, Language Bureau, [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|Ministry of Human Resource Development]]. |

Various Indian languages have corresponding scripts for them. Hindi and similar language are written with Devnaagari, such as Maithili, Awadhi, Haryaanavi, Bhojpuri, Chhattisgadhi etc. Most other languages are written using a script specific to them, such as Punjaabi with Gurmukhi, Gujraati with Gujraati etc. Urdu and sometimes [[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]], [[Saraiki language|Saraiki]], [[Sindhi language|Sindhi]] and [[Punjabi language|Panjabi]] are written in modified versions of the Perso-Arabic script. Except for these languages, the alphabets of Indian languages are native to India. (See [[ISO 15919]] regarding Romanization of Indian languages) |
