According to Census of India of 2001, India has 122 major languages and 1599 other languages. However, figures from other sources vary, primarily due to differences in definition of the terms "language" and "dialect". The 2001 Census recorded 30 languages which were spoken by more than a million native speakers and 122 which were spoken by more than 10,000 people.

There are a total of 68 languages spoken in my country (Kenya). The two official languages, English and Swahili, are used in varying degrees of fluency for communication with other populations.

Easier to just copy the wiki page:

The Australian Aboriginal languages consist of around 290-363[1] languages belonging to an estimated twenty-eight language families and isolates, spoken by Aboriginal Australians of mainland Australia and a few nearby islands.[2] The relationships between these languages are not clear at present. Despite this uncertainty the indigenous languages of Australia are collectively covered by the technical term "Australian languages",[3] or the 'Australian family'.[a] The term can include both Tasmanian languages and the Western Torres Strait language,[5] but the genetic relationship to the mainland Australian languages of the former is unknown,[6] while that of the latter, which shares some features with the PapuanEastern Trans-Fly Meriam Mer tongue, has not yet established with certainty.[7]

In the late 18th century, there were more than 250 distinct Aboriginal social groupings, and a similar number of languages or varieties.[5] At the start of the 21st century, fewer than 150 Aboriginal languages remain in daily use[8] and all except only 13, which are still being transmitted to children, are highly endangered.[9] The surviving languages are located in the most isolated areas. For example, of the five least endangered Western Australian Aboriginal languages, four belong to the Ngaanyatjarra grouping of the Central and Great Victoria Desert. Yolŋu languages from north-east Arnhem Land are also currently learned by children. Bilingual education is being used successfully in some communities. Seven of the most widely spoken Australian languages, such as Warlpiri, Murrinh-patha and Tiwi, retain between 1,000 and 3,000 speakers.[10] Some Aboriginal communities and linguists show support for learning programs either for language revival proper or for only "post-vernacular maintenance" (teaching Indigenous Australians some words and concepts related to the lost language).[11]
