Some facts about Hindi
Hindi became the official language of India on 26th
January 1965. When India became independent, a debate arose to
choose a common language for the country, the matter was put
to vote and Hindi won by a single vote. Thus Hindi became
national language of India. Hindi is an Indo-European
language, of the Indo-Aryan subfamily. It has its roots in the
classical Sanskrit language from which it derives much of its
formal and technical vocabulary. The language acquired its
current form over many centuries, and numerous dialectical
variations still exist. In course of its development it has
been influenced and enriched by many foreign languages like
Dravidian, Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English.
Hindi has spread throughout North India as a contemporary
lingua franca. Its speakers range from illiterate workers in
large cities to highly educated civil class of country. In
many states of India the residents learn Hindi as a second or
third language even if they speak another regional language,
such as Marathi, Bengali, or Gujarati. In such conditions
knowledge of Hindi language allows one to communicate with a
far wider variety of people in India.
Hindi is a very expressive language. It is also easy to learn
because it is spoken exactly as it is written. Hindi is
normally spoken using a combination of 52 sounds, ten vowels
and 40 consonants. It is written in the Dev Nagari script,
which is common to several other Indian languages as well.
Various famous epics and plays of India are written in the
Hindi like Ramacharitamanas, Bhagvad Gita and the Mahabharata.
Hindi literature is also very rich source of knowledge of
culture, religion, spirituality etc. By the knowledge of
Hindi, you can be better acquainted with Indian culture,
religion and current affairs as well.
