{'official language': [1, 0, 3, 0], 'languages': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'nepali': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'urdu': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'sindhi': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'eighth schedule': [5, 1, 2, 5], 'kashmiri': [1, 0, 2, 0]}

The Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution lists the recognized languages of India. These languages are given special status and protection under the constitution. Out of the options provided, only Urdu is the official language of a state.

An official language is a language that has special legal status in a particular country or region. It is used for government purposes, such as legislation, administration, and official communication. In India, Urdu holds the status of an official language in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.

It is important to note that other languages listed in the Eighth Schedule, such as Kashmiri, Sindhi, and Nepali, may be recognized and used in their respective states or regions, but they are not necessarily the official language of a state.

Therefore, option 2, Urdu, is the correct answer as it is the official language of Jammu and Kashmir.
