Language History
The earliest forms of Hindu religious texts were written in Sanskrit – an ancient language that had much influence over Hindu and Indian culture throughout the years. Sanskrit used the Devanagari written script, which gave rise to several languages including Hindustani – a significant language used in India. Eventually, India and Pakistan separated, which in turn, created the languages known today as Hindi and Urdu.
Both were basically Hindustani, with only political differences and some changes over the years setting them apart. Hindi for instance, still uses the Devanagari script, while Urdu uses a Persian script. Urdu has also adopted several Persian words that do not exist in the Hindi language.
Hindi is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It used by approximately 400 million people globally.
