Multilingual India

One thing that drives me nuts in India is the country's multilingual culture. Indian constitution recognizes 22 languages as National languages. Plus, 114 languages are spoken by more than 10,000 native speakers!!

So, to give you an idea of this, can you tell me which language is used in each picture below - Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, or Tamil?

Hindi is one of the ones that are using Sanskrit alphabet. I was expecting of them using Arabic script, also.

For me, it will be enough to speak and understand hindi. I don't care about its damn alphabet! It's too hard!

And I'm not interested in the other languages either. lol

It's too much for me... =)
