Option 3 : Urdu

The correct answer is Urdu.

Urdu had a negative decadal (2001-11) growth rate (its speakers) according to the Census of India, 2011.
As per the language census data 2011:
- Two scheduled languages, Urdu and Konkani, saw a fall in absolute numbers.
- There are 50772631 Urdu speakers in India, a fall of about 1.5 percent since 2001.
- The decline in Konkani speakers is 9.5 percent.
- The Urdu language in modern India is associated only with Muslims.
- This fall in Urdu speakers is strange as the Muslim population in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar has grown between 2001 and 2011. 5 views Answered 2022-09-04 04:29
