Hindi/Urdu at UC Davis

Hindi is the primary spoken language of at least 337 million Indians, comprising about 40% of India's population. Outside India, Hindi speakers number around 8 million, distributed across Nepal, South Africa, Mauritius, US, Yemen, Uganda, Germany, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Fiji and the UAE. Urdu is an Indic language (the official literary language of Pakistan) essentially identical to Hindi in its spoken form but in its literary form heavily influenced by Persian and Arabic and written in an Arabic alphabet. About 100 million people in Pakistan and India speak Urdu. Linguists consider Urdu and Hindi to be dialects of the same language. Together Hindi-Urdu is the second most widely spoken language in the world.
