People's Linguistic Survey of India, Volume 9, Part 2: The Languages of Gujarat, Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli
Gujarat, with the longest coastline in the country, is also one of the largest states of India. The union territory of Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli is closely associated with the state as well. Due to years of migratory influences, this vast area is a melting pot of people, cultures and languages, and this makes it uniquely diverse. Though Gujarati is spoken by the majority, there are a number of languages that make up the linguistic matrix. This volume of the People's Linguistic Survey of India, The Languages of Gujarat, Diu & Daman and Dadra & Nagar Haveli (volume nine, part two) sheds light on not just Gujarati and its varieties, but also other Scheduled and Non-Scheduled languages, Tribal languages, and most importantly, the languages of Denotified, Nomadic and Coastal communities in use in the state as well as the union territory. It is hoped that the volume will draw attention to the distinct linguistic environment and the harmony with which these languages coexist in this part of the country
