Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Under the Delhi Sultanate, Persian was the language of government. The inscriptions and other records of the Delhi Sultans were written in Persian. Tawarikhs or Tarikh are the sources with the most information on the Delhi Sultanate and the Sultan who ruled over Delhi. The tawarikhs were also written in Persian. Many Sultans supported the language, and all governmental and administrative activity in Delhi under the Delhi Sultanate was conducted solely in Persian. The flourishing of the Persian language resulted in the spread of the language, making it an official language in the Delhi Sultanate. Most of the literary works from the era of the Delhi Sultanate are in the Persian language.
The correct statement would be Persian was the language of administration under the Delhi Sultanate.
