Hindi is a phonetic language, meaning that the way a word is spelled corresponds to the way it's pronounced, and vice versa. This makes it an easier language to learn than you might expect.
Namaste! India has 23 official languages, with Hindi/ Urdu chief among them. Whether this is one language, Hindustani, or two dialects, is still fiercely contested. Hindi is spoken by more than 600 million people worldwide and is the fourth most spoken language in the world, behind Mandarin Chinese, English, and Spanish.
In science and information technology, India has an increasingly important global presence (and Hindi is the most widely spoken official language). The West has embraced Indian cuisine, so much so that chicken tikka masala has been one of Britain's preferred dishes for decades. Knowledge of this beautiful, ancient, elegant, and expressive language opens doors to the study of poetry, philosophy, sacred texts, and song.
