Excluding English, What Are The Top 10 Languages Spoken In India?

I know that languages like hindi, punjabi, tamil etc probably appear in the list. But does anyone have the top 10 list? I already know english is the language of business so please exclude english and please also exclude urdu (I don't consider that to be a language). Thanks
