Talk:Hindustani language

Semi-protected edit request on 7 February 2022
The Hindi form was intended for the use of Hindus, and was derived from Urdu by ejecting all words of Persian or Arabic origin, and substituting them with words either borrowed from Sanskrit or derived from the old primary Prakrit.

 * Hindi is derived from Urdu? Didn't both stem from Khari Boli? Wicontrib4 (talk) 00:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Request: change "हिन्दुस्तानी·ہِنْدُوسْتانی" to "हिन्दुस्तानी·ہِنْدُوسْتانی·𑂯𑂱𑂢𑂠𑂳𑂮𑂹𑂞𑂰𑂢𑂲" in infobox-cc

Reason: used in Fijian Hindustani, Carribean Hindustani, and many Hindustani dialects like Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Nagpuri as well. Wicontrib4 (talk) 00:25, 21 January 2024 (UTC) — Urro[ talk ] [ edits ] 18:15, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: Please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. This seems like a Brahmic script, possibly Kaithi. Can you please name the script and provide a source that states it is still used in modern times?
 * Apart from the obvious anachronism, I should add that Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Magahi, and Nagpuri are not "Hindustani dialects" but sister varieties to Hindustani as understood here (the Delhi-based vernacular that has given rise to two literary standards viz. Hindi and Urdu). Nor are Fijian Hindustani, Carribean Hindustani the same as Hindustani "proper"; they are mostly Awadhi/Bhojpuri-based. –Austronesier (talk) 20:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sources are in Kaithi - it lists these languages as ones that use it. It's not significantly used in modern times, however there's some revival efforts backed by universities to use this as a secondary script to Devanagari (rather than in place of it).
 * I dont care, insignificant edit; unnecessary Wicontrib4 (talk) 05:19, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Colloquial Urdu
If we can call Hindustani as Colloquial Hindi in the top-line, why can we not call it Colloquial Urdu as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.96.10.188 (talk) 07:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hindustani is not the official language of India. Even the official wikipedia page for India states Hindi and English. Kindly please recheck the source provided within the article and confirm the same. 188.66.167.90 (talk) 18:12, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
