The most common greeting is "Namaste". Generally Indians speak 2-3 languages. Hindi-the national tongue, a regional language, and English. I know that in Madras state (south east) they speak Tamil. I don't know about other areas.

More of an educated guess than an assumption.  Especially since I was right. Just ask Steve..
