A language guide, not a census ranking
Our directory brings together names of languages, regional varieties, and local speech traditions. Showing a language under a state means the inventory associates it with that region; it does not mean everyone there speaks it.
Editorial priorities P1/P2/P3 indicate which topics to cover first, not population, official status, or vitality. Some entries represent umbrella or community designations. Native names and script recommendations can be incomplete; confirm text with local fluent speakers before publication.
This edition is dated 31 October 2026. Gudi Padwa is celebrated by participating communities; not all residents of every state or territory observe it. Local spellings, prayers and customs should be verified before public publication.

Source starting points
One season, distinct new-year traditions
Gudi Padwa marks the Marathi traditional new year, and families in Maharashtra commonly raise a decorated gudi at the door. Participating communities in Goa also celebrate Gudi Padwa / Saunsar Padvo. It is related in seasonal timing to Telugu/Kannada Ugadi, Sindhi Cheti Chand and other observances, but they have different names, customs and identities. These wishes are addressed to Gudi Padwa observers; they do not assume that all Indian states celebrate it.
These messages are for families who observe Gudi Padwa. Celebrate respectfully, learn about regional customs, and avoid assuming that everyone in a state or language community follows the same calendar or festival.
Language integrity: Every original-language greeting is an unverified editorial draft. Every option labeled “bridge” contains messages written in another explicitly named language, not a translation into the named regional language. Native-speaker review is required before publication.
