Knox, I don't blame you, but there is something you have to understand about cultures...
The French have always been speaking in in French wherever they are in the world. I had been to Paris, couple of years back and if I asked anything in English, they would not bother to reply... 1. Probably they hate the English and 2. They love the French language
Talking about Keralites, Malayalam is their first language no matter what happens in life. Its not that they are being rude in office by speaking their language.. they are just used to that.
I think that Philipinos feel that they wiill be eaten if they sit outside their group of people. In my office, once I sat with the Philipinos to have lunch with them, they felt so uncomfortable and made me feel it to.
I guess instead of telling them that its rude or asking them to speak in English, They must go for Office etiquettes or better communication skills training.
