Biolinguistic Diversity Index of India

Harmon and Loh calculated the 'Index of Biocultural Diversity' (IBCD) at the global-level (they calculated the index for each country and then compared them). However the problem with their methodology was that it could not be used for smaller areas or intra-country calculation of index. So it required some modification. In this paper I have calculated the IBLD (Index of Biolinguistic Diversity) of India using a similar methodology. However I have introduced some modifications. Instead of taking the politically divided states as the reference point for comparison, I have taken the eco-regions of India as the reference point. I have also calculated the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the ranks of the eco-regions on the basis of biodiversity and linguistic diversity so as to see whether these are correlated at the intra-country level (in India, in particular). The conclusions are not exactly at par with the expectations but still the correlation is established.
