Indic
This term is a proper adjective used primarily in linguistics and history to categorize languages, cultures, or peoples originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is most frequently encountered in the phrase Indic languages, which refers to the branch of the Indo-European family including Hindi, Bengali, and Punjabi.
Because it is a proper adjective derived from a specific geographic and cultural entity, it must always be capitalized. It is distinct from the word Indian, which is a broader term encompassing nationality, ethnicity, and geography, whereas Indic specifically targets linguistic and phylogenetic classifications.
