Rough % of Muslims speaking Hindi+dialects as mother tongue in Hindi states
Bihar - 50%
Uttar Pradesh - 75%
Haryana - 80%
Uttarakhand - 70%
Madhya Pradesh - 80%
Rajasthan - 85%
Delhi - 60%
Himachal Pradesh - 96%

In short, Hindi is a shared identity between Hindus and Muslims!
MAXIMUM % of Muslims speaking state languages in southern states.
Maharashtra - 33%
Karnataka - 20%
Andhra+Telangana - 10%

I assume that all Muslims not speaking Urdu speak the state languages in these states, which is a HUGE exaggeration. Many Muslims are Hindi speakers.
In short, in Karnataka, Andhra and Maharashtra, the linguistic identity is almost totally dharmic [Hindu+Buddhist+Jain]. Kannada, Telugu and Marathi identities are practically dharmic identities, even when only the linguistic identity is taken, without any religious identity.
