Hindithe official language of India and one of the country’s principal literary languages. Hindi is spoken mainly in the central regions of northern India—in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Haryana, in the Union Territory of Delhi, and, to some extent, in the states of Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Bihar. According to a 1971 estimate, there are more than 153 million speakers of Hindi. Hindi, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages, comprises literary Hindi and two groups of related dialects. The western dialects are Khari Boli, Bangaru (Haryani), Braj (Braj Bhasa), Kanauji, and Bundeli; the eastern dialects are Awadhi (Avadhi), Bagheli, and Chhattisgarhi. Literary Hindi is based on the Khari Boli dialect, which differs from the others in phonetics and grammer; before the emergence of literary Hindi in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, poetry was written in the Braj and Awadhi dialects. Hindi exhibits features common to all modern Indie languages. Vowels may be short or long, oral or nasal; there are also dip-thongs. Hindi has back, middle, cacuminal (cerebral), dental, and labial consonants; both unaspirated and aspirated consonants may be voiced or unvoiced. There is also a pharyngeal h. In literary pronunciation, front š and z and labial f appear in loan words. The morphology of Hindi is analytic and uses rudimentary inflexions in the number and case forms (oblique and vocative) as well as in the personal and number forms of the verbal subjunctive and imperative moods. Word order typically follows a sequential pattern—adverbial modifier, subject, object, and predicate. The attribute precedes the word it modifies. The lexicon of Hindi is highly Sanskritized, containing direct borrowings from the Sanskrit and words formed from Sanskrit stems. A partial ergative construction occurs with certain forms of the predicate. Hindi is written in the Devanagari script. REFERENCESBarannikov, A. P. Khindustani: Urdu i khindi Leningrad, 1934.Guru, K.
