Again a valid point, but there's an incredible variety of languages Indians speak. But you may be right - Hindi, Tamil and Telugu seem to be extraordinarily popular languages.
Actually, now that I think about it, with the raw number of people speaking every language, you may be exactly right! I've been thinking in terms of percentages (x% of the population speaks y language, so it's probably not language that's the binding factor), but with India's sheer size, just the raw population (that x% might be 300 million people), it doesn't matter!
- aydyn 3y agoI meant that people emigrating from India are on average better English speakers than people from China. Hence it's easier for them to interface with the West and make an impact in English speaking countries.
