Introduction
Hindi is a member of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. The official languages of India are Hindi and English. Bihar, Delhi, Haryana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh all use Hindi as their official language. In Chhattisgarh, one of the Hindi dialects, Chhattisgarhi, was recently designated as the state’s official language. According to the Indian Census of 2001, Hindi is spoken by 422,048,642 people, which includes speakers of its numerous dialects and dialect variations.
In 1950, Hindi was designated as the official language of the Indian Union. The Indian Constitution declares Hindi, written in Devanagari script, to be the official language of the country. “The official language of the Union will be Hindi in the Devanagari script,” according to Article 343. The international version of Indian numerals shall be utilised for official purposes of the Union.” In 1965, English was supposed to be replaced with Hindi, which was named an associate language of the Union. In 1963, the Official Language Act was approved, ensuring that English would continue to be an associate official language in the Union and that it would be used in the legislature for an indefinite period of time.
