Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Adivasi languages are influenced by mainstream Indian Languages. Yet the Adivasis have their own languages, Santhali being the most important and widely spoken of all the Adivasi languages with almost 6.3 million native speakers. But when the tribal groups and Adivasis came into contact with the urban and rural population, a mix of culture and languages took place.

As of now, there are 21 tribal languages in India, with 74 dialects, contributing immensely to the linguistic diversity of India.
