Hindi

Hindi is an Indo-European language spoken as a first language in India and second language in many countries where Indians have emigrated. It is written with the Devanagari script which fairly closely follows the phonetics of the language. Spoken Hindi is very similar to spoken Urdu — as such they are both often classified as part of the Hindustani (Indian) language.
