- 1印地語（不是「印度語」；印度有很多種語言。也別和「印度教的／印度教徒」Hindu 搞混）
Hindi is a major language of India, and one of the official languages of the Indian government (English is used there too). It is written in the Devanagari script. Huge numbers of people speak it, especially in northern India — but India has many languages, so “Indian” is not the same as “Hindi-speaking,” and a person from Chennai or Kolkata may not use Hindi at home. Everyday Hindi and are very close; they part company more in writing and in the high, formal words. Hindi is the language. Hindu is a person of the Hindu religion, or the religion itself. The two look and sound close, and students mix them all the time.
組成Borrowed from Hindi हिंदी (hindī), from Classical Persian هِنْدِی (hindī). On the surface, Hind + -i (“of Hind”). Distant doublet of Sindhi.
