Thank you so much, cloud_9. Very helpful!

@Desertfalcon.

For example, I grew up in Kerala. There are a lot of Keralites who can speak and understand Hindi, and those who can't.

Language I wouldn't say would be the major administrative problem, inept officials would be.

 

[Chak Bamu]

Punjabi, Urdu, English - Speak, read, & write.

I can make some sense of Arabic and persian, but I can not claim to know them. But still, if I have to (as during Umrah & Hajj), I can communicate in Arabic at least.

By virtue of knowing Urdu and Punjabi, I can understand Hindi and make some sense of North Indian dialects (Gojri, Gujrati). But that is about it.

Mother tongue is usually referred as a person's first language, it's a disambiguation.

A first language (also native language, mother tongue, arterial language, or L1) is the language(s) a person has learned from birth[1] or within the critical period, or that a person speaks the best and so is often the basis for sociolinguisticidentity. In some countries, the terms native language or mother tongue refer to the language of one's ethnic group rather than one's first language.[2] Sometimes, there can be more than one native or mother tongue, (for example, when the child's parents speak different languages). Those children are usually called bilingual.
