there are 452 languages listed. Of these 438 are living languages while 14 have no known speakers. She missed some important languages but still it is a nice post. Most important is Chhatigari lingo. Spoken by 17,500,000 (2001 figures) it is different from Bihari. Even before creation of Chatisgarh state, it was known as chhatisgari and not bihari.
