What You Need Before You Learn Hindi

So it’s on your mind and you want to learn Hindi.  For whatever reasons, those are up to you.  Maybe it’s not to communicate with family and friends but possibly many of your business dealings are done in Hindi.  So now really is the time to learn to read and write Hindi.  However there are some things you should know before moving on to that step.

The first thing you should understand is that Hindi is an offset of the Indo-Aryan language which is actually a language spoken by about 41% of all the people in India.  In most cases it is the mostly used language in what is called the Hindi Belt.  The Hindi belt consists of mostly central and Northern India.  It is also one of the official languages that are used by the federal government of India.

However Hindi is just one of around 22 other languages that are spoken in India.  Most people call it the Standard Hindi.  It is also used along with English when it comes to administering the central government.  The nearby island of Fiji also adopted Hindi as their official language.

When it comes to Hindi it was actually derived from another language which was Prakrit.  It was a local language of Braj, Awadhi and Khari Boli.  However, through the years Hindi was mixed with other languages and influences from other languages to bring us modern day Hindi that we speak today.

As of right now Hindi is by far the most spoken language of any language in India.  Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Bihar, Himchai, Pradesh and Jharkhand are all states that use Hindi as their main language.  It is the second main language as well for a few nearby islands.

A little you should know about the vocabulary.  Hindi is a subject-object-verb language.  What this means is that verbs that are used in speaking and writing Hindi are almost found at the end of every sentence instead of before the object.  Another big difference from the English language is that Hindi does not use such things as the and an.

There are only two genders in the Hindi language that are interpreted as nouns.  First are male humans and animals are masculine while female humans and animals are feminine.  Everything else has to fall into these categories and is determined on the interpretation of the writer.

So are you ready to learn Hindi now.  When you do get started you will be pleased to find out that the language is relatively easy to catch on to.  In fact most people who learn the language speak of how exciting it was to learn and how they never regret learning the language of Hindi.
