Which one of the following is not among the principal languages of Jammu and Kashmir?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The principal and official languages of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir include Kashmiri (also known as Koshur), Dogri, Hindi, Urdu, and English [3]. The Jammu and Kashmir Official Languages Act, 2020, formally recognized these five languages to preserve existing official usage while expanding the ambit to include languages spoken by the majority of the population [2]. Gujari (or Gojri) is also a significant regional language spoken by the Gujjar and Bakarwal communities in the region. In contrast, Monpa is a language primarily spoken by the Monpa people in Arunachal Pradesh and is not a principal language of Jammu and Kashmir. Therefore, Monpa is the correct answer as it does not belong to the linguistic landscape of Jammu and Kashmir.
