| has gloss | eng: Modern Standard Hindi is the official language of India, while Urdu is the national language of Pakistan as well as a scheduled language in India. The two are often held as separate languages on the bases of higher vocabulary choice (and thus mutual intelligibility) as well as cultural orientation; however, on a linguistic basis they are two standardized registers of a single subdialect, that being the Khari boli dialect of Delhi. Their grammatical differences are minimal, and keeping in line with such a linguistic analysis, Hindi and Urdu (or Khari boli; also see "Hindustani") occupy a single grammar page. |
