Hindi (Devanāgarī: हिन्दी or हिंदी, IAST: Hindī, IPA: hi-Hindi.ogg [hɪnd̪iː] (help·info)) is the name given to an Indo-Aryan language, or a dialect continuum of languages, spoken in northern and central India (the “Hindi belt”).[5]

Native speakers of Hindi dialects between them account for 41% of the Indian population (2001 Indian census). As defined in the Constitution, Hindi is one of the two official languages of communication (English being the other) for India’s federal government and is one of the 22 scheduled languages specified in the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution.[6] Official Hindi is often described as Standard Hindi, which along with English, is used for administration of the central government.[7][8] Hindustani or Standard Hindi is also an official language of Fiji.

Standard Hindi is a sanskritised register derived from the khari boli dialect. Urdu is a different, persianised register of the same dialect.
