First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing this great piece of content.
There is a specific language spoken in different regions across the country. Every region has their own mother tongue but there is always another language which is most commonly used by people. English is one of the most common languages which is known and spoken by people. But it is seen that most of the people hesitate to speak english.
