Hindi is the main language of northern and central India, including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana and Delhi. It is an official language of India's central government alongside English, and is spoken by Indian communities around the world.

Hindi is written in Devanagari, from left to right. Most letters hang from a line along the top, and the same script is used for Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit.

In everyday speech they are very close, and speakers usually understand each other. Hindi is written in Devanagari and takes its formal words from Sanskrit, while Urdu uses a Perso-Arabic script and takes more from Persian and Arabic.
