All “#” figures were made by applying India’s population growth from the 2011 census to the 2025 census. For example, since India’s population increased by about twenty-one percent from 2011-2025, I applied that change to the number of speakers given to every language in the census of 2011.

Three things

Could you accept Kurux for Kurukh

Hindi and Urdu are usually interchangeable on Jetpunk for some reason

Could you accept Meitei for Manipuri

Yes, I will add the type-ins, but Urdu and Hindi are separate Hindustani languages.
