28 States of India & Their Languages

India has 28 states and 8 union territories. As we know that India is known for its diversity and culture, each state has its own culture in the form of language dress, food, song, dance, etc.


At present, India has 28 States and 8 Union Territories (UTs). States are governed by their elected Government and Chief Minister as their elected head. The Central Government administers Union Territories for various reasons like administrative feasibility, security, and much more.


India is also known for its diverse languages and we take pride in the fact that the language varies after a few km. Along with the States and Capitals of India, you must learn the languages of India too.


Indian Constitution recognizes 22 languages under the Eighth Schedule. We have curated a list of 28 States of India, their capitals, and languages. We have divided the list into the official languages and languages spoken in the state.
