HINDI IS CONSIDERED TO BE THE LANGUAGE OF MADHYA DESH by Grierson. He divides it into two parts—Western and Eastern. Western Hindi consists of five dialects viz., Bangree or Hariyani, Khadi Boli, Vraj, Bundeli and Kanauji. Among these Khadi Bolt has now achieved a unique place of honour, as it is raised to the level of the lingua franca of independent India. It is popularly known as Rashtrabhasha. Eastern Hindi consists of three dialects viz., Avadhi, Bagheli and Chhattisgadhi. This classification is not accepted by modern philologists. Dhirendra Varma in his recent article ‘Hindi Pradesh Aur Uski Upabhashaen ‘(published in the special issue of 'Sahitya Sandesh'— July-August 1957, pp. 55 and 56)—expresses the view that the term ‘Hindi language ‘really means literary Khadi Boli written in Devnagari script and this is the language spoken in the following parts of the country viz., (1) Bihar, (2) Uttar Pradesh, (3) Madhya Pradesh, (4) Rajastan, (5) Delhi, (6) Himachal Pradesh and (7) Hariyana. He further adds that the principal dialects of Hindi are : (i) Maithili, (ii) Magadhi and (iii) Bhojpuri in southern parts; (i) Avadhi-Bagheli, (ii) Chhattisgadhi, (iii) Vraj-Kanauji, (iv) Bundeli and (v) Khadi Boli-Hariyani in central parts; (i) Jaypuri-Hadanti, (ii) Mevati- Ahirpati, (iii) Marvari, Mevari-Malvi in the western region and (i) Gadhavali-Kumayuni and Pahadi dialects of the environs of Simla in the northern region. According to him Urdu can be added to this list as it is another literary style of Khadi Boli. Thus Hindi comprises fourteen dialects. This view has now found general support among all linguists of repute.

The word Bundela refers to a clan of Rajputs, the distinguished martial tribe of Rajasthan. As per Census returns, Bundeli is spoken in the following Districts of the Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. In Madhya Pradesh Bundeli is spoken in the district of (1) Tikamgarh (2) Chhatarpur (3) Panna (4) Datia (5) Gwalior (6) Sagar (7) Damoh (8) Narsinghpur (9) Hoshangabad (10)Chhindwara (11) Seoni (partly) (12) Bhopal (partly) (13) Balaghat (partly) (14) Durg (partly) and in Uttar Pradesh (15) Jhansi (16) Manirpur (17) Jalaun (18) Banda (P) (19) Agra (partly) (20) Maipuri (partly) (21) Itava (p).
