Hindi

Hindi is an official language of India and the most common language of government, business, education, aviation and inter-ethnic communication in South Asia, having overtaken English by the mid to late 21st century.
With the rise of India as a major world power, the status of Hindi as a global language has also risen.
Many linguists consider Urdu a close dialect of Hindi using Perso-Arabic script in place of Indian Devanagari script. Regarding Hindi and Urdu as dialects of the same language raises the total number of Hindi speakers even higher.
