Yes. No doubt about it. But, here India means, the whole of present day Indian Sub-Continent.     Actually, Sanskrit means refined. (refined languages). Therefore, Sanskrit Language is "Refined Language". Now, the question is which was language it was refined to bring out the present day Sanskit.  For that, 2 other languages preceeds Sanskrit namely, Paisachik and Prakruth, in the same order .  Paisachik, means  "demons language" and the came Prakruth.  Prakruth refined and then came Samskruth or Sanskrit.  The script for Sanskirt is called as Devanagari.   Sanskrit  is also referred to as "Deva Basha", which means "Language of Gods" . The other details like Grammar and other specialities are as mentioned in other answers.  Hope this provides sufficient answer for your question

Kannada or Canarese, the official language of the southern Indian state of Karnataka. Kannada is a Dravidian language spoken by about 44 million people in the Indian states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and MaharashtraKannada alphabet   \nOrigin\nThe Kannada alphabet developed from the Kadamba and Cālukya scripts, descendents of Brahmi which were used between the 5th and 7th centuries AD. These scripts developed into the Old Kannada script, which by about 1500 had morphed into the Kannada and Telugu scripts. Under the influence of Christian missionary organizations, Kannada and Telugu scripts were standardized at the beginning of the 19th century. Kannada is a alphasyllabary in which all consonants have an inherent vowel. Other vowels are indicated with diacritics, which can appear above, below, before or after the consonants. \nWhen they appear the the beginning of a syllable, vowels are written as independent letters. \nWhen consonants appear together without intervening vowels, the second consonant is written as a special conjunt symbol, usually below the first.

The top four, according to the Ethnologue database --\n1) Papua New Guinea - 830 languages listed (820 living, 10 extinct)\nhttp://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=PG\n\n2) India - 428 languages listed (415 living, 13 extinct)\nhttp://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=IN\n\n3) Mexico - 298 languages listed (291 living, 7 extinct)\nhttp://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=MX\n\n4) China -- 236 languages listed (235 living, 1 extinct)\nhttp://www.ethnologue.com/show_country.asp?name=China\n\nInfoplease seems generally to concur, listing 715 indigineous languages for Papua New Guinea\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107875.html\ncompare: http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzpapualanguages.htm\n\n\nThere is a bit of confusion, though, since Infoplease also speaks of India having "1,600+ dialects"\nhttp://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0107629.html\nCompare wikipedia's "number of mother tongues in India is as high as 1,652" (though there is no further explanation given)\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India \n\nBased solely on this, one might argue for India.   But the problem here is that "dialect" is used in many different ways, and the statistics given for India are not explained, nor are other countries compared on the same basis.   Since Ethnologue, which is highly regarded, uses one consistent approach to all the countries, I believe it is wisest to go with their totals, according to which PAPUA NEW GUINEA ranks first.
