'''[[Hindi]]''', an [[Indo-European language]] spoken mainly in [[North India|North]], [[Central India|Central]], and [[Western India]], is one of the [[national language]]s of [[India]]. It is part of a [[dialect continuum]] of the [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan]] family. Hindi also refers to a standardized register of [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] that was made one of the official languages of India. The grammatical description in this article concerns standard Hindi. It evolved from [[Sanskrit]], by way of the [[Middle Indo-Aryan]] [[Prakrit]] languages and [[Apabhramsha]] of the [[Middle Ages]]. As a standardised register of [[India]], it became the national language of India on January 26, 1950. Hindi is often contrasted with [[Urdu|Urdū]]. The primary differences between the two are that Standard Hindi is written in [[Devanāgarī]] which is written from left to right. The [[Devanagari]] script represents the sounds of spoken Hindi very closely, so that a person who knows the Devanagari letters can sound out a written Hindī text comprehensibly, even without knowing what the words mean and has supplemented some of its [[Persian language|Persian]] and [[Arabic language|Arabic]] vocabulary, with words from [[Sanskrit]]; while Urdu is written in [[nastaliq script]], a variant of the [[Persian alphabet|Persio-Arabic script]], and draws heavily on Persian and Arabic vocabulary.
