Question

What are the official languages of Uttarakhand?

  1. Hindi and Urdu
  2. Hindi and English
  3. Hindi and Sanskrit
  4. Hindi and Garhwali

Answer:

Option C: Hindi and Sanskrit

Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Hindi and Sanskrit”.

Hindi is the official language of Uttarakhand. In 2010, the Uttarakhand state government granted Sanskrit the status of second official language, making it one of the few Indian states to do so. Additionally, Garhwali and Kumaoni are widely spoken regional languages in the state, but they do not hold official status.
