Hindi

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

Hindi is an Indo-European language spoken in India and 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 language.
