Diglossia
Hindoo as a Diglossic Language Standard (Suddha) Hindi vs Hindustani- Hindustani,commonly known asHindi-Urduand historic wholey asHindavi,Urdu, and, is the natural language franca of north india and Pakistan. It is anindo Aryan language and it is deriving in the main from thekhariboli of Delhi, and borrows a large amount of style fromIranian, Arabic, Sanskrit and Turkic. The colloquial languages are all but indistinguishable, and even though the prescribed standards are nearly equal in grammar. They differ in literary conventions and in academic and technical diction.With Urdu retaining stronger Persian, Central Asian and Arabic influences, and Hindi relying more heavily on Sanskrit. Before thepartisan of India, the termsHindustani, Urdu,and Hindiwere synonymous all covered what would be called Urdu and Hindi today. The termHindustaniis still utilize for the colloquial language and lingua franca of North India and Pakistan, for example for the language of bollywoodfilms, as well as for several quite different varieties of Hindispoken outside the Subcontinent, such asFiji Hindiand theCaribbean Hindustaniof Suriname andTrinidad.Standard Hindi, the official language of India, is based on thekhariboli dialect of the Delhi region and differs from Urdu in that it is usually written in the indigenousdevnagariscript of India and exhibits less Persian influence than Urdu. Many scholars today employ a Sanskritized form of Hindi developed primarily varansi, theHinduholy city, which is based on the Eastern Hindi dialect of that region and thus a let out language from official Standard Hindi.It has a literature of 500 years, with prose, poetry, religion & philosophy, under the Bahmani Kings and later on Khutab Shahi Adil Shahi etc. It is a living language, still prevalent all over the Deccan Plato. Note that the term Hindustani has generally fallen out of common usage in modern India, excerpt to refer to a style of IndianHindustani Classic Music. The term utili se to refer to the language is Hindi, regardless of the mix of Persian or Sanskrit words used by the speaker.One could conceive of a wide spectrum of dialects, with the highly Persianized Urdu at one end of the spectrum and a heavily Sanskrit-based dialect, spoken in the region around Varansi, at the other end of the spectrum. In common usage in India, the term Hindi includes all these dialects except those at the Urdu end of the spectrum. Thus, the different meanings of the word Hindi include, among others 1. standardized Hindi as taught in schools passim India, 2. Formal or official Hindi advocated by Puushottam Das Tandon who was freedom fighter from Uttar Pradesh. e is astray remembered for his effort in achieving the official language of India status for Hindiand as instituted by the post-independence Indian government, heavily influenced by Sanskrit, 3. the vernacular dialects of Hindustani as spoken throughout India, 4. the neutralized form of the language used in popular television and films, or 5. The more formal neutralized form of the language used in broadcast and print news reports. Hindi has two forms the H form called Shuddha Hind and Hindustani Language.Both are based on the same dialect that is Khariboli. The L variety, Hindustani (often simply called Hindi) contains many loanwords from Persian and Arabic (brought by the Arabic and Persian invaders in medieval times), along with a massive vocabulary of English loanwords which increase day by day. The L variety is identical with spoken Urduexcept for the concomitant that the latter is written inPerso Arabic script. The H variety was standardized in the 1960s during the thrust to adoptHindias national language of Indian Union.Shuddhmeans pure Hindi primarily uses words from Sanskrit to replace not only English loanwords, but also loanwords fromPersian languageand Arabic which had been nativized for centuries. These words are calledTatsamawords, and they even replaced manytadbhavwords, i. e. words with Sanskrit origin but having undergone profoundphonologicalchange. The L variety is used in common speech, TV serials and Bollywood movies and songs. The H variety is used in official and government writings, scholarly books and magazines, signboards, public announcements and public speaking.
