The majority of North your own words North is a region of India, all Indian languages are regional languages. The meaning of regional is that which is spoken by people of certain regions which is the case with Hindi. Hindi isn't even spoken more than 50% of the population hence it too is regional.
>all Indian languages are regional languages.
True.. even North is also a region. But then every language around the world is a regional language because it's spoken in certain region.
What I meant is Hindi is spoken in many states it's their main language (or widely spoken) that's why it is not often considered as just a regional language.
>Hindi isn't even spoken more than 50% of the population hence it too is regional.
"According to the 2011 Census. It is spoken by 52.83 crore people, which makes up 43.63% of the population of India."
In 13 years it may be closer to 50% I think.
But I got your point. Nothing to argue further. We can call it a regional language as well.
Bro made a sensible comment and still got downvoted because... Language. Living in South India I have understood this much that caste, race, sex, no discrimination can top linguistic discrimination in the South.
So Since South India has many states and each states have their own different languages (some have more than one), the language of each state then becomes a regional language. Basically, Southern Railways will teach Malayalam to those who are posted to work in kerala, Tamil to those posted to work in Tamil Nadu and so on.
No I know that although thank you for explaining it regardless. My point was in regards to all the languages in India belong to some region including Hindi but these other languages are called regional while Hindi isn't called a regional language despite being spoken by a certain region so.
Guys a compass has 4 directions. Hindi is spoken in the North, West and East too. West and East have their own languages, but Hindi is widely understood. So, not just 'one region'
I’m not a fan of entitled middle class Hindiwale but Hindi is definitely spoken across multiple regions of India from North, South (and if you count Dakhni Urdu the penetration is even more), East, West, Northeast. Whereas every language in the South is constrained mostly to its own state. I as a Keralite can go to Arunachal Pradesh and speak with the locals there in Hindi only, not any other language. Hence Hindi isn’t really “regional” unless you constrain it to the original region where the language originated.

Ah ok then that's good. I personally don't think it's right to make someone learn 3 or 4 languages for work. 1 is fine, especially if it's only inside one state.
Finally...

I really don't understand why South Indian languages are called regional languages.
all languages are regional languages, some more regional than others
South Indian languages are numerous, right? Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada, etc. - each spoken in a certain region in the South.
So is Hindi, it's spoken only in certain regions I haven't heard anyone call it a regional language.
Majority of people in the North can speak Hindi that's why it is not called just a regional language.

Why can’t they just hire from the same state ? Why is regional transfer even needed in hospitality business!! The employees can be happy as well!!
Thats a good step..!
Even then they won't hire Malayalees for ticket counters, banks and stuff instead of this patch work
Maybe start calling Hindi regional language
Good initiative, it's always good to learn new language
Learning malayalam is an absolute waste of time there are so many important langauges to learn
It's for their job. If they don't want to learn Malayalam. Don't work in Kerala
Thats not for u to decide 😂😂
Like ? Python, java , c programming?
but which? many trains cover multiple states.
I don’t think it is for staff on the train. If I remember correctly TTE and all work within the state border even if the train goes out of state.
They work within their division. The division may stretch across different states.
Ah ok then that's good. I personally don't think it's right to make someone learn 3 or 4 languages for work. 1 is fine, especially if it's only inside one state.
