The languages of South India are the Dravidian represented by Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu,  besides Gondi and other minor dialects, and the Austro-Asiatic by the Munda languages. South India's predominant language family is Dravidian, a family of approximately seventy-three languages spoken in South Asia.  The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 divided states in India along linguistic lines and led to the creation of separate states of Andhra Pradesh, <MASK>, केरळ and Tamil Nadu in areas where Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil respectively were dominant.
