The People’s Linguistic Survey of India provides an overview of the extant and dying languages of India, as perceived by their speakers. It is the outcome of a nationwide survey of languages that has been documented by linguists, writers, social activists, and members of different speech communities. Critically, it encapsulates the world view of the speakers of the languages.

Telangana ki Bhashayen  presents the languages spoken in Telangana, the country's youngest state, formed after the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014. The state is a unique blend of diverse cultures and languages. There are ten languages covered in this volume– 1. Telugu, 2. Deccani Urdu, 3. Scheduled Languages as Minority Languages in Telangana, 4. Yerukala, 5. Koya, 6. Kolami, 7. Gondi, 8. Chenchu, 9. Lambadi/Banjara, and 10. The Lesser Known Languages of Telangana. Grammatical features, domains of use, folk tales, folk songs and vocabulary lists are provided for all languages.

Telangana shares a joint linguistic history with Andhra Pradesh. Telugu is the major language of this state, and has been declared a classical language due to its rich literary tradition. Deccani Urdu is the second major language. Languages and dialects of the Dravidian, Indo-Aryan and Austro-Asiatic families are spoken in the state.
