Urdu, on the other hand, is the form of Hindustani used by Muslims and is official in Pakistan; it is written in a modified form of the Arabic alphabet, is read from right to left, and has added a number of words borrowed from Arabic and Persian to its originally Indic vocabulary. Despite these differences, both Hindi and Urdu are written variants of the same Indic subdivision, Hindustani. The latter goes back to the Prakrits or vernacular dialects of classical Sanskrit (see Indo-IranianIndo-Iranian,

For instance, the neuter gender, the dual number, and the old case endings for the noun have been discarded. The conjugation of the verb has also been greatly simplified. Instead of prepositions, Hindustani uses postpositions, or particles placed after words to make clear their grammatical function or relationship.

Thus Hindustani ranks third in number of speakers, after Chinese and English, among the world's language communities. Bibliography See G. H. Fairbanks and B. G. Misra, Spoken and Written Hindi (1966); A. Rai, A House Divided: The Origin and Development of Hindi-Hindavi (1985). Hindustani a colloquial language that formed in the Middle Ages from Khari Boli, a dialect spoken in the area around Delhi, Agra, and Meerut. Hindustani came to be used as a lingua franca throughout northern India and in parts of central and southern India. According to a 1975 estimate, there are more than 200 million speakers of Hindustani, which in southern India has acquired a special form called Dakhini, or southern Hindustani. Hindustani has not become established as a literary language, but it has given rise to two literary languages: Urdu, which has undergone Persian and Arabic influence; and Hindi, which has undergone Sanskrit influence. Hindustani shares a common phonology and grammar with Hindi and Urdu. Its vocabulary differs from that of Urdu in having few Persian and Arabic borowings and from that of Hindi in lacking Sanskrit borrowings. The Hindustani vocabulary consists primarily of indigenous words (Hindi proper or tadbhava) but also contains Old Persian borrowings. “Hindustani” is sometimes used to mean either Urdu or a special colloquial version of Urdu and Hindi.
