HINDI, WESTERN

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 478 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HINDI, WESTERN , the Indo-Aryan language of the
middle
  and upper Gangetic Doab, and of the country to the north and
south
 . It is the vernacular of over 40,000,000
people
 . Its standard dialect' is Braj Bhasha, spoken near Muttra, which has a considerable literature mainly devoted to the
religion
  founded on devotion to Krishna. Another dialect spoken near
Delhi
  and in the upper Gangetic Doab is the
original
  from which Hindostani, the
great
  lingua franca of India, has
developed
  (see HINDOSTANI). Western Hindi, like Punjabi, its
neighbour
  to the west, is descended from the Apabhramsa form of Sauraseni Prakrit (see PRAKRIT), and represents the language of the Madhyadesa or Midland, as distinct from the intermediate and outer Indo-Aryan
languages
 .
