Community Profile: Indian immigration to NYC exploded in the 1960s following the repeal of the Luce-Celler Act, an annual 100-person quota placed on immigrants from India. With the largest Indian community in the Western Hemisphere, the New York-New Jersey region has significant Hindi-speaking communities in every borough, though the number of those speak it at home trails the region's two most common South Asian languages, Urdu and Bengali.

exington Avenue between 25th and 30th streets is informally known as Curry Hill due to the concentration of Indian restaurants and shops that have taken root over the last few decades. The East Village also boasts its own Curry Row, with an older cluster of restaurants run by speakers of diverse South Asian languages, on East 6th between 1st and 2nd Avenues.

Note that the language above may be used throughout the New York area — this is just one significant site.

An urban language map

Welcome to Languages of New York City, a free and interactive digital map of the world’s most linguistically diverse metropolitan area.

All data, unless otherwise specified, is from the Endangered Language Alliance (ELA), based on information from communities, speakers, and other sources.

The map is a work in progress and a partial snapshot, focused on significant sites for Indigenous, minority, and endangered languages. Larger languages are represented selectively. To protect the privacy of speakers, some locations are slightly altered. Social media users, note that LANGUAGEMAP.NYC works best in a separate browser. We apologize that the map may not be fully accessible to all users, including the visually impaired.

This map was created by the Mapping Linguistic Diversity team, with core support from the Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies and the Endangered Language Alliance. Please send feedback!

By continuing I acknowledge that I have read and accept the above information.
