{'sanskrit': [5, 0, 0, 4], 'nepali': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'urdu': [1, 1, 0, 0], 'languages': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'english': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'constitution': [39, 3, 11, 39], 'eighth schedule': [5, 1, 2, 5]}

The correct answer is option 1: English. The Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India lists the recognized languages of the country. It currently includes 22 languages, including Hindi, Bengali, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, Urdu, and many others. These languages are recognized for official purposes and are encouraged to be preserved and promoted.

English, however, is not included in the Eighth Schedule. Despite being widely spoken and used in India, it does not have the same official status as the languages listed in the Schedule. English continues to be used in government, education, and legal systems, but it is not considered on the same level as the recognized languages in terms of constitutional recognition.

It is important to note that this list has been subject to amendments and may change in the future. However, as of now, English remains outside the recognized languages in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India.
