Hindustani languages
Redirected from Hindustani language
"Hindustani" is the term formerly used to collectively name the Hindi and Urdu languages. The two are largely similar in grammar and vocabulary, but Urdu, spoken in largely-Muslim Pakistan, has more loanwords from Persian and Arabic, while Hindi, spoken in largely-Hindu northern India, has more influence from the southern Dravidian languages and classical Sanskrit.
