Linguistic history of India

Since the Iron Age of India, the native languages of the Indian subcontinent have been divided into various language families, of which Indo-Aryan and Dravidian are the most widely spoken. There are also many languages belonging to unrelated language families, such as Munda (from the Austroasiatic family) and Tibeto-Burman (from the Sino-Tibetan family), spoken by smaller groups.
