About Hindi
Hindi is the national language of India, and the state language of six
of its provinces. Hindi, along with English, is the official language
of India. It is written in the Devangri Script and belongs to the
Indo-European language family. Hindi is a direct descendent of
Sanskrit, which is a sister language of Greek and Latin.
English has borrowed many words from Hindi, including guru, pundit, juggernot, bungalow, pajamas, and bazaar.
In turn, Hindi has borrowed a number of words from English, which is
apparent if you watch any Hindi movie. Knowledge of Hindi opens doors
to myriad religions, culture, and landscapes.
