Indo Persian
How is Hindi an Indo-Iranian language?
I am Persian, and Hindi sounds extremely different and difficult. I understand Sanskrit from Avestan, but it seems very different.
The term Hindi is used from multiple perspectives of language classification; therefore, it must be used with care. Standard Hindi and standard Urdu are considered by linguists to be different formal registers both derived from the Khari Boli dialect: Hindi being Sanskritised and Urdu being additionally Persianised (written with different writing systems, Devanagari and Perso-Arabic script, respectively).

No mention of Hindi can be complete without at least touching on its illustrious ancestor, Sanskrit. Sanskrit – meaning refined or perfected – is one of the oldest members of the Indo-Aryan language family, the basis of many of the world’s most important language families.
