| | Hindustani language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term used to refer to the language is "Hindi", regardless of the mix of Persian or Sanskrit words used by the speaker. | | | One might reasonably assume that the language spoken in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh (known for its beautiful usage of Urdu) and Benares (a holy city for Hindus and thus using highly Sanskritized Hindi) is somewhat different. | | | This meaning is reflected in the use of the term "bazaar Hindustani," in other words, the language of the street or the marketplace, as opposed to the perceived refinement of formal Hindi, Urdu, or even Sanskrit. |

| | The earliest attestations of the group are in Vedic Sanskrit, the language used in the oldest scriptures of India, the foundational canon of Hinduism known as the Vedas. | | | However, although this preserved the integrity of written language for a long time, the spoken language continues to evolve, and by the sixth century, Sanskrit as a spoken language was rare, being by and large replaced by its descendants, the Prakrits. | | | This Indo-Aryan language is a combination of Persian and Arabic in its vocabulary with the grammar of the local dialects. |

| | The Farce that is Hindi |
| | The Sabha claimed the antecedents of the new language in the Khari-Boli tradition and soon forced `Urdu` to adopt a course of purification, i e, distinguishing itself by adopting Persian and Arabic words. | | | In the circumstances it had already declared the numerous regional languages as underdeveloped and incapable of having a tradition in literature and the process forced the submergence of their varied identities in the identity of Hindi written in Devnagari. | | | In the course of his survey he was able to trace the roots of the languages in north India to two main sources - Sanskrit, and Arabic and Persian. |

| | Urdu, on the other hand, is the form of Hindustani used by Muslims and is official in Pakistan; it is written in a modified form of the Arabic alphabet, is read from right to left, and has added a number of words borrowed from Arabic and Persian to its originally Indic vocabulary. | | | Written in the Devanagari alphabet employed for Sanskrit, Hindi is read from left to right and has a vocabulary that is strictly Indic. | | | The latter goes back to the Prakrits or vernacular dialects of classical Sanskrit (see Indo-Iranian) and has been greatly influenced by Sanskrit itself. |

| | Language in India |
| | As far as language is concerned, they followed the tradition of using the Persian and Arabic languages for communication with the natives wherever such languages had been used in the Mughal empire. | | | Even after English became the official language, the masses remained for a long time sunk in ignorance, and it was only in the last century that people began to turn their attention to the mental improvement of the great body of the nation. | | | It is also amazing to note that the "language experts" among these officials were very critical of the officialese, and wanted that the writings in the Indian languages be more natural, and that the Indian languages develop their styles according to their genius. |

| | From Hindustani to Hindi |
| | This language and its script were based on an ancient Indian language called Sanskrit. | | | Against this stand of two different languages two of India’s notable leaders, Jawaharlal Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi, supported the idea of one Hindustani language which could be written in both forms. | | | Slowly there developed a ‘Hindustani’ poetry, based on Hindustani language which used words from Arabic and Persian and was written in Perso-Arabic script. |

| | This concise but practical introduction to Arabic, Persian, and Hindustani furnishes anyone interested in comparative languages with a clear and comprehensive view of their structure; and after only a few hours of diligent study, students should be able to analyze sentences in any of these languages. | | | I did learn, though, that the alphabet for Hindustani is almost the same as for Arabic, except that Hindustani has Arabic letters with up to four dots over them, the maximum in Persian and Arabic being three. | | | Except for being written in the same Arabic script (with some minor modifications), those two languages don't have much in common with Arabic, except for many lean words, since Arabic is a Semitic family language, and Persian and Hindustani are Indo-European languages. |

| | Because a foreign language can never be the language of the people, for you will have two strata or more-those who live in thought and action of a foreign tongue and those who live in another world. | | | It is not merely Indians who have to learn a language, for which they have a natural affinity; it is foreigners also who have to learn this language which will be entirely foreign to them. | | | Ultimately a language grows in greatness and strength if there is a proper marriage between those who are learned and the masses of the people. |

| | As I am repeating now, it was the blend of the Persian, Arabic, Turkish script, vocabularies, and literary models on the one hand, and the existing Indian language belonging to the Hindu family of languages with its roots in Sanskrit. | | | Out of this blend of the Persian script and Persian vocabularies, with Turkish and Arabic words also included, and the existing Indian language, there arose this language which in those days was called Hinderi or Hindustani. | | | NEETI RAY: First of all, yes, Hindustani is the universally spoken and understood language in South Asia. |

| | (In the 19th century it was usual to publish Hindustani-English dictionaries -- like those of S. Fallon and John Thompson Platts -- in which the entries were printed in both Arabic and Devanagari script, side by side.) Mahatma Gandhi encouraged the unified view of Hindustani language. | | | Rather say that Urdu and Hindi are two different ways of using the same language. | | | The everyday language that people speak to each other is the same, and if the choice of words being a bit different for different communities makes different languages, then American English and British English are different languages too. |
