Read the Paragraph and answer the following questions: 

In 1318, the poet Amir Khusrau noted that there was a different language in every region of India:

Sindhi, Lahori, Kashmiri, Dvarsamudri (in southern Karnataka), Telangani (in Andhra Pradesh), Gujari (in Gujarat), Ma‘bari (in Tamil Nadu), Gauri, (in Bengal), Awadhi (in eastern Uttar Pradesh) and Hindawi (in the area around Delhi).  Amir Khusrau went on to explain that in contrast to these languages there was Sanskrit which did not belong to any region. It was an old language and “common people do not know it, only the Brahmanas do”.

(a) Read the languages mentioned by Amir Khusrau. Compare them with the names of languages spoken today in the regions he mentioned.

(b) Have the names in which languages are spoken changed over time?
