Also, what are examples of linguistic divisions along the lines of caste distinction?

not being a spoilsport, thats a lot of information, India has a zillion castes and a zillion more languages. For eg, Tamil spoken by Iyers is different from that of the Tamil spoken by Iyengars, to complicate it, they both are Brahmins. Then we have 5-6 dominant castes in Tamilnadu each with their own slang. Majority of Indian states were formed based on linguistics and every state has more than one dominant castes.
