'''Kauravi''' ({{lang-hi|कौरवी}}, {{lang-ur|{{nq|کَوروی}}}}), also known as '''Khaṛībolī''' or the '''Delhi dialect''',<ref>{{lang-hi|खड़ी बोली}}, {{|khadī bōlī|standing dialect|translit-std=ISO}}</ref> is any of several [[Central Indo-Aryan]] dialects spoken in and around [[Delhi]]. It is believed to have initially developed contemporaneously with the neighbouring [[Awadhi language|Awadhi]], [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]], and [[Braj Bhasha|Braj]] dialects in the 900–1200 CE period. Kauravi contains some features, such as [[gemination]], which give it a distinctive sound and differentiates it from standard [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]], [[Braj]] and [[Awadhi]].{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} An early form of Kauravi became the main basis of [[Old Hindi]], which subsequently developed into [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] and then into [[Urdu]] and [[Hindi]].<ref name="Masica2007">{{cite book |last1=Masica |first1=Colin P. |title=Old and New Perspectives on South Asian Languages: Grammar and Semantics |date=2007 |publisher=Motilal Banarsidass Publishers |isbn=978-81-208-3208-4 |page=51 |language=en |quote=Braj and Awadhi in early and middle stages preserve old case endings -hi, etc, while Khari Boli (Old Hindi) and Dakkhini seems to have lost these endings in the Apabhramsa period.}}</ref><ref name="MatthewsShackleHusain1985">{{cite book |last1=Matthews |first1=David John |last2=Shackle |first2=C. |last3=Husain |first3=Shahanara |title=Urdu literature |date=1985 |publisher=Urdu Markaz ; Third World Foundation for Social and Economic Studies |isbn=978-0-907962-30-4 |language=en |quote=But with the establishment of Muslim rule in Delhi, it was the Old Hindi of this area which came to form the major partner with Persian.
