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 a 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.
