Standard Hindi, also known as Modern Hindi, is mutually intelligible with Urdu, another Indian language. Hindi is the official language in India and\u00a0has borrowed its vocabulary heavily\u00a0from Sanskrit. Hindi has close to\u00a0500 million speakers\u00a0including Hindi dialects\u00a0(41% of the population in India) which makes it the\u00a04th largest language of the world,\u00a0after Chinese, Spanish, and English.<\/p>\n

Language as a political tool<\/h3>\n

Standard Hindi is based on Khariboli, a dialect of Delhi and surrounding regions. In the 17th century, this dialect acquired linguistic prestige and became generally known as Hindustani\u00a0or Urdu. After India became independent, a language reform led to Standard Hindi with a modern grammar and orthographic standards.\u00a0While many Hindi and Urdu speakers claim these are two different languages, this is largely due to religious nationalism and communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims. It is in a fact hard to tell the colloquial languages from each other.\u00a0In the Indian constitution from 1950, Hindi was declared the principal national language of India, instead of Urdu. This “settled” the dispute politically (also with a contribution of Mahatma Gandhi who criticized the division), although certain resistance persists until today.<\/p>\n

One country, 22 languages<\/h3>\n

It may be worthwhile to note that English is the secondary national language due to historical\u00a0and cultural development of India.\u00a0Fluency in English is considered\u00a0a social\u00a0advantage.\u00a0English is India’s lingua franca and is widely used in higher society, politics as well as in business. Apart from official Hindu and English, there is over 20 officially recognized languages in India, including Urdu, Assamese, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Nepali, Kannada, Gujarati and others.<\/p>\n

Alphabet<\/h3>\n

The main script of Standard Hindi is Devanagari, it is also the most commonly used alphabet for writing Sanskrit.<\/p>\n
