Hindi (Tiancheng: or? Latin alphabet transliteration: hindι), also known as Hindi, is a language of Indo-European Indo-family. Hindi is the language with the eighth largest number of countries in the world, and became the official language of the central government of India (together with English) on June 26th. 1965. Hindi and Urdu (collectively called Hindustan) are almost the same, the main difference is that the former uses natural initials and the latter uses Arabic letters. The former introduces more Sanskrit loanwords, while the latter uses more Arabic and Persian loanwords.

It is the most popular language in India. In addition, a considerable number of Indian residents in Mauritius, Fiji, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana and Suriname also speak Hindi.

The standard Hindi language has 1 1 vowels and 43 consonants. Of the 54 phonemes, 1 vowel and 5 consonants are foreign sounds, which are only used in foreign languages. The original 10 vowel in Hindi has a corresponding nasal form. Consonants not only have corresponding aspirated sounds, such as unvoiced stops and unvoiced fricatives, but also have corresponding aspirated sounds. Aspirated sound and non-aspirated sound have different functions. There is generally no stress or tone. Grammar is much simpler than Sanskrit, and nouns include feminine, masculine, singular and plural. A few pronouns retain the remaining form of case. The form of noun case has disappeared. The relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence is represented by the suffix after the noun or pronoun. When a noun or pronoun has a postposition, its form will change to some extent.

Hindi grammar

Verbs include person, nature, number and other aspects, as well as aspect, tense, form and state. The basic word order of a sentence is subject-object-predicate. In terms of vocabulary, most of the basic vocabulary evolved from Sanskrit. The recent trend of terminology in various professional disciplines is to take it directly from Sanskrit or create new Sanskrit words with Sanskrit word formation. During the Muslim period, Hindi absorbed a large number of Persian and Arabic loanwords. During the British rule, it absorbed a large number of English loanwords and constantly absorbed new loanwords from English. While absorbing foreign words, it also absorbs some word-formation means of foreign words. Hindi uses a natural alphabet. This is a text marked by vowels, which evolved from ancient Sanskrit letters. Write from left to right.
