Classical Languages of India
The Ministry of Culture, Government of India, recognizes certain languages as 'Classical Languages'.
This status is conferred based on criteria such as antiquity of its early texts or the early historical/non-earliest recorded history over a period of 1500-2000 years, a body of ancient literature/non-earliest literature and an important part of it being indigenous and a great tradition of scholarship in that language.
The primary goal of conferring this status is to preserve and promote these languages.

Tamil (2004)
Sanskrit (2005)
Kannada (2008)
Telugu (2008)
Malayalam (2013)
Odia (2014)
