India has many official names, expressing its linguistic diversity. Hindi in the Devanagari script is the official language of India as per Article 343 of the Constitution of India, while the clause 3 of Official Languages Act, 1963 mentions the, "Continuation of English Language for official purposes of the Union and for use in Parliament", thus denoting Hindi and English as the official languages of the Union,[1] and there is no national language for the country.[2][3] English has the status of a "subsidiary official language".[2][4] Hindi romanisation uses Hunterian transliteration, which is the "national system of romanisation in India" and the one officially used by the Government of India.The Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists 22 languages,[5] which have been referred to as scheduled languages and given recognition, status, and official encouragement.
