Since most Europeans are considered the same race (Caucasian), nationalities tend to be divided up by language root and not necessarily by biologically traceable ethnicity.  English is not just a Germanic language. Because the British Isles have been conquered, invaded, and resettled so many times in the last 3000 years, English has Celtic, Gaelic, French, Nordic (Viking) and Latin included as well, which makes it its own unique linguistic category.  Most other European tongues have remained nearly unchanged for centuries, such as Czech, Finnish, and Portuguese.

1. There are two websites that claim 23 official languages, being Hindi (which is the official language of the Union, and also an officially recognised regional language), 21 other regional languages, and English (used for official purposes). Here they are in alphabetical order.\n\n1. Assamese \n2. Bengali \n3. Bodo \n4. Dogri \n5. English\n6. Gujarati \n7. Hindi \n8. Kannada \n9. Kashmiri \n10. Konkani \n11. Maithili \n12. Malayalam \n13. Manipuri \n14. Marathi \n15. Nepali \n16. Oriya \n17. Punjabi \n18. Sanskrit \n19. Santhali \n20. Sindhi \n21. Tamil \n22. Telugu \n23. Urdu \n\nhttp://indiaimage.nic.in/languages.htm\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_languages_of_India\n\n2. In support of the basis of your question, there are many websites that claim that the Constitution recognises 18 official Indian languages, excluding English (rather than 22). Bizarrely this also includes another page on the Wikipedia site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_India )! However, they then list less than 18, so it is not possible to identify the four additional languages in 1. above. \n\na) This website (http://www.rbcradio.com/knowlanguages.html ) lists 16 languages (including Hindi, but excluding English):\n1. Assamese\n2. Bengali\n3. Gujarati\n4. Hindi\n6. Kashmiri\n7. Konkani\n8. Malayalam\n9. Marathi\n10. Oriya\n11. Punjabi\n12. Sanskrit\n13. Sindhi\n14. Tamil\n15. Telugu\n16. Urdu\n\nb). This website (http://www.indiasite.com/language/hindi.html ) lists 15 languages (the above list minus Konkani).\n\nc) This website (http://www.indiabook.com/india-information/official-language.html ) also lists 15 languages (the above list minus Sanskrit).\n\n3. If your question is for a quiz or similar, then I haven't been able to find a definitive list of 18. However, if it is for school homework, I'd go with the list of 23 languages.
