The History of Hindi Language:

If you've ever been curious about how Hindi rose to become the language of choice for millions today, then look no further. This section dives deep into its origin and offers a comprehensive history behind this fascinating development.

Hindi – the 4th most widely spoken language in the world, is one of the most beautiful and stylistic languages that, as many of you may know, is a scion of Vedic Sanskrit. But did you know that the Hindi we speak today is not the same as it was centuries ago? The modern Standard Hindi is a result of numerous transitions between the 7th century A.D. and the end of the 19th century.

Linguistic Classification – 

Languages have been grouped under various language families, such as Afro-Asiatic, Sino-Tibetan, Austroasiatic, Dravidian, and Indo-European.

Hindi belongs to the Indo-Aryan sub-group under the Indo-Iranian category, which is part of the Indo-European family of languages. Since Hindi is a direct offshoot of Sanskrit, naturally, Sanskrit is also part of the Indo-Aryan sub-group. Don't forget to check English to Telugu Typing.

The Emergence –

Vedic Sanskrit was the first language to have been created that appeared in the 'Vedas' of Hinduism, spanning the 2nd Millennium BCE period. The Sanskrit that we now learn in schools, aka Classical Sanskrit, developed in 600 BCE and was considered a language of the upper class.

Later in 500 BCE, the mid-Indo-Aryan languages or 'Prakrits' were born. Though Prakrits were derived from Sanskrit, they were far more unrefined with significant differences in their grammar and vocabulary. These include Pali, Gandhari, Magadhi, Maharashtri, Sauraseni, and Apabrahmsa. You can type in Tamil Online keyboard using our website.

Modern Standard Hindi came from a combination of Apabrahmsa and Sauraseni Prakrits, primarily spoken in northern India. The Prakrits as mentioned above were said to be prevalent between the 6th century and the 13th century.

By then, these languages had already started elevating into other literary dialects, such as Khari Boli. 'Braj Bhasha' (Western Hindi language) 'Awadhi' (Eastern Hindi language), or Kosali, and the language of Delhi, all came from Khari Boli.

Many great poets like Surdas and Amir Khusrow have composed their works in Braj Bhasha. In fact, it was Amir Khusrow who coined the term 'Hindavi', or Hindustani (meaning – Hindi), later in 1283.

Foreign Influence –

India, as we know, has been ruled by several foreign invaders. The Mughals came in the 1500s, thus influencing the Hindi spoken by the native habitats. This mixed dialect, known as Hindustani, was a blend of Hindi and Urdu. We also have Kannada Keyboard, Marathi Keyboard, Punjabi Keyboard on our website.

As a result of such strong Persian influence, many of the words from Farsi, Arabic, and Turkish languages were adopted into the Hindustani language. This mixed speech was called 'Rekhta'. As the Mughal Empire expanded further south, so did this mixed speech. However, Persian still remained the language of the court.

In 1837, the Perso-Arabic script (Urdu) replaced Persian as the official language. This caused a massive backlash from the Hindus residing in Northwestern India, demanding that the script be changed to the native Hindi script, Devnagri (developed in the 11th century). After the downfall of the Moghul Empire, Khari Boli replaced Persian as the common dialect. Fun fact: Bihar was the first Indian state to have registered Hindi as their only official language for both - Hindus and Muslims in 1881.

In the 18th and 19th century, India was once again ruled by foreigners; this time, it was the British people. They wanted a lingua-franca that would be convenient to use for administrative purposes. Since Hindustani was the most widely-spoken language across India, they made it the official language under the British-Indian Empire, calling it Urdu.

With the end of British rule; came the partition of British India, which resulted in the formation of two separate nations – India and Pakistan. Along with that came the separation of the Hindustani language. Urdu became the official language of Pakistan, based on the Perso-Arabic script, and Hindi became one of the official languages of India (in 1950) based on the Devanagari script. That said, the two languages have a lot of similarities than they have differences.

Conclusion:

Today, despite countless Hindi dialects spoken across India, Modern Standard Hindi is the most widespread dialect. As per the 2001 Census, 40% of the population speaks in the Hindi language, and 400 million people consider it their first language.
