Hindi is the national language of India; but, it is one of several languages spoken in different parts of the sub-continent. 'National' should be understood as meaning the 'official' or 'link' language. The homeland of Hindi is in the North of India, but it is studied, taught, spoken and understood widely throughout the sub-continent, whether as mother tongue or as a second or a third language.
Hindi has a special relationship with Urdu: their grammar is virtually identical, and they have a substantial vocabulary in common. However, the two languages part company at a higher level, because Urdu draws the bulk of its vocabulary from Persian and Arabic, while Hindi draws much of its vocabulary from Sanskrit. Besides, Hindi is written in Devnagari script, while Urdu is written in a modified form of the Arabic script.
Hindi has many different styles and speech registers, appropriate in different contexts. At the most colloquial level it reflects more the common ground with Urdu, while in formal and official contexts a more Sanskritized style is found.
The language of this course is that which is used unselfconciously by Hindi speakers and writers in the various, mainly informal situations, which are introduced. We have included some of the English language words here, which are freely used in conversations by the Hindi speakers.
Script & Sound System
Hindi is written in Devnagari or 'Nagari' script. The script is phonetic; so that Hindi, unlike English, is pronounced as it is written. Therefore, it is to learn the characters of the script and the sounds of the language at the same time.
