Regional Indian languages

Primary language names the main language a social group actually speaks. Wikipedia describes the Khasi as "an Austroasiatic ethnic group" who "are among the few Austroasiatic-speaking peoples in South Asia," a distinct linguistic identity within their wider region. This dimension groups social groups that share the same primary language.
