A story about Bombay (see below sig) makes me ask myself what is
Bombay's principal language, and more generally which Indic languages
belong where.  I look in various books for maps.  Crystal's <Cambridge
Encyclopedia of Language> distinguishes the major Dravidian languages,
but shows Indo-Iranian as an undifferentiated lump.  Where should I look
for a more detailed map, and for a subclassification of the Indic
languages?
