India is a example of a country that has a national language (actually two, Hindi and English) but still recognizes the 20+ other regional languages spoken. Schools in India are allowed to teach the local language in addition to Hindi/English.
As a result a educated Indian from a non-Hindi speaking state is generally trilingual in English, Hindi and their mother tongue.
