(((SORRY WRONG SECTION: MOD, CAN YOU PLEASE MOVE TO INDIAN IDN SECTION THANKS)))):

Ok, Here are the facts about India's languages (source:answers.com)

English enjoys associate status but is the most important language for national, political, and commercial communication; Hindi is the national language and primary tongue of 30% of the people; there are 14 other official languages: Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, Gujarati, Malayalam, Kannada, Oriya, Punjabi, Assamese, Kashmiri, Sindhi, and Sanskrit; Hindustani is a popular variant of Hindi/Urdu spoken widely throughout northern India but is not an official language

The bulk of my Indian IDNs come from Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali. There are still a few gems left in the latter two which I think are very keystone to the language. The problem with the registering Indian words is that there is not strong information or translations from them to English available on the web- so it is speculation at its best if it's not native to you. Which language do you use or have you been avoiding Indian IDNs?
