Hindi is the second most spoken language in the world following the Chinese. Geographically, people who speak Hindi are scattered all over the world including in the United States.

There are many reasons why it’s gaining popularity. These events show some evidences.

1. Edison schools get funds to add Hindi classes

The township school district has received a federal grant that will help introduce a Hindi language course in the curriculum in September 2008.

The first-year grant is $197,500 for 2007-08 to develop the curriculum. Additional grant money will be available to implement the program.

The curriculum will be modeled after courses taught in Texas schools. The Texas Hindi program, which begins in ninth grade, has been taught for the past few years.

The plan for Edison is to introduce and adapt Hindi for grades nine through 12.

Approximately 45 percent of the students in Edison are Asian. The Asian-Indian community was eager to start the less commonly taught subject.

2. Cameron University to offer Hindi class

Cameron will offer Hindi language courses for the first time in the fall, taught by a Fulbright Scholar from India.

“We are offering it because India has become an increasingly important player in a global economy, making the language useful for those in business and finance,” said Margery Kingsley, chairman of the foreign languages department. “Lawton also has a vibrant Indian community, and making the Hindi courses available will, we hope, contribute to local awareness of Indian culture, literature and films of India.”

Because many residents of India speak English well, the American business community has not been hard-pressed to learn the language. But knowing it can lead to more genial business relationships, and be helpful as a means of breaking the ice.

About 5,000 Asian Indians live in Oklahoma. Many second and third generation families only speak English but would discover more about their culture and ancestors by learning Hindi.

Learn HindiLearn HindiHindi belongs to the Indo-European family, Indic branche of the Indo-Iranian group.Hindi is the most widely spoken language of the Republic of India, centered principally in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in the north-central part of the country. Its 275 million speakers rank it as one of the leading languages of the world but it is, nevertheless, understood by only about one third of India's population. When independence was achieved in 1947, Hindi was chosen as one of India's national language.
Like most of the languages of northern India, Hindi is a direct descendant of Sanskrit. It has been influenced and enriched by Dravidian,Turkish, Farsi, Arabic, Portuguese and English. Hindi and Urdu, the official language of Pakistan, are virtually the same language, though the former is written in the Sanskrit characters and the latter in the Perso-Arabic script. Pure Hindi derives most of its vocabulary from Sanskrit, while Urdu contains many words from Persian and Arabic. The basis of both languages is actually Hindustani, the colloquial form of speech that served as the lingua franca of much of India for more than four centuries. Hindi was originally a variety of Hindustani spoken in the area of New Delhi. Its development into a national language had its beginnings in the colonial period, when the British began to cultivate it as a standard among government officials. Later it was used for literary purposes and has since then become the vehicle for prose and poetry.

You may not know it, but Hindi karaoke music is very popular nowadays. This Indian karaoke music is not just enjoyed by the Indians themselves, but people from around the world. As such, you should definitely learn as much as you can about Hindi karaoke music.

Indian karaoke music is also known as Indian pop. The short term for Hindi karaoke music is actually ‘indi pop’, and it is very popular among the one billion members of the Indian population. Because Hindi is the main language of Hindi karaoke music, these have wide mass appeal. To trace the legacy of Indian karaoke music, we will need to go back to the decade of the 80s. This was the birth of Hindi karaoke music, beginning with Nazia Hassan.

This person is a Pakistani singer dedicated to flourishing the Indian karaoke music scene. Nazia Hassan is also the person who introduced the popular Hindi karaoke music áap jaisa koi meri zindagi mein aaye’ along with the musical scoring of the popular Biddu. Together, they were able to rock the country and created a demand for Hindi karaoke music in a nation that has long been embracing classical music. The younger Indian generation fully accepted it immediately, as the adults gave it a hand as well.

Pretty soon, their songs were part of the mainstream Indian music scene blasted from all Indian karaoke music makes across the nation. Indian karaoke music became a staple in the Indian culture, thanks also the influences of pop and disco singers such as Mithun Chakravorthy and Rishi Kapoor. Not only was their songs part of music, but they were also quite danceable tunes as well. It was also common to see many an Indian household to sing Hindu karaoke music as well as dancing around the room to songs such as “sara zamana hasino ka diwana, paise ye paisa”.

Indian karaoke music also became very popular with many Indians who were based in other countries as well. The music of the Hindi ended up penetrating even the farthest of members all over the world. During the decade of the nineties, many karaoke music makers embraced the arrival of pop superstars such as Usha Utup, Peenaz Masani and Sharon Prabhakar. Other noteable names in the realm of Indian karaoke music include: Alisha Chenai, Baba Sehgal, Lucky Ali, Shaan, and the dynamic duo of Leslie Lewis and Hariharan who are also known as the Colonial Cousins.

After the nineties, the music of the Hindi still continued to flourish but this time bringing with it names such as Sunidhi Chauhan, Juggy D and also the Bombay Kings. Some influences of Indian music may also be seen in international acts especially the musical Moulin Rouge. This movie had the song of Alka Yagnik entitled Chamma Chamma. Renowned rapper Jay Z also mixes some Punjabi sounds with his songs as well, and some of the songs of Britney Spears were arranged by Rishi Rich, a man of Indian origin.
