WP:OR WP:UNSOURCED WP:NPOV. Completely unnecessary generalisations about which regions supposedly "belong" to which "ethnic groups" just because their native languages are widely spoken there. This is ethnic nationalist nonsense without any encyclopedic value. All the relevant information has been gathered much better in articles such as Ethnic groups in South Asia, Languages of South Asia, and so on. NLeeuw (talk) 22:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Per nom and good case made by NLeeuw. Poor sources, editorial bias and problem with verification. RangersRus (talk) 13:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom Okmrman (talk) 04:53, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. I have to emphasize once more that a list or article that relies on a single source, or no sources, is essentially original research. Bearian (talk) 17:48, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
