The word '''Indian''' means from or about the country of the modern [[Republic of India]] or Bharat. It refers to a person from India. Many different [[language]]s are used in India, so there is no language called "Indian". Some languages of India are [[Punjabi]], [[Gujarati]], [[Hindi]], [[Urdu]], [[Sanskrit]], [[Bengali]], [[Kannada]], [[Tamil]], and [[Telugu]].

The word '''Indian''' is also sometimes used for the people who were in [[North America]], [[Central America]], [[South America]], and the islands of the [[Caribbean Sea]] when the [[Europe]]ans first came there. The Europeans made a mistake and thought they were going to India, so they called the people "Indians". 

Other names for these people are American Indians, [[First Nations]], and [[Native American]]s.
