Hindustani (/ˌhɪndʊˈstɑːni/; Devanagari: हिन्दुस्तानी,[8] Hindustānī, / Perso-Arabic:[a] ہندوستانی, Hindūstānī, lit. 'of Hindustan')[9][2][3] is the lingua franca of Northern India and Pakistan; known in its literary forms as Hindi–Urdu (Devanagari: हिन्दी-उर्दू,[10] Nastaliq: ہندی-اردو) and historically as Hindui, Hindavi, Zabān-e Hind (transl. 'Language of India'), Zabān-e Hindustan (transl. 'Language of Hindustan'), Hindustan ki boli (transl. 'Language of Hindustan'), Rekhta, and Hindi.[11][12] Its regional dialects became known as Zabān-e Dakhani in southern India, Zabān-e Gujari (transl. 'Language of Gujars') in Gujarat, and as Zabān-e Dehlavi or Urdu around Delhi. It is an Indo-Aryan language, deriving its base primarily from the Western Hindi dialect of Delhi, also known as Khariboli.[13] Hindustani is a pluricentric language, best characterised as a dialect continuum with two standardised registers: Modern Standard Hindi and Modern Standard Urdu. Depending on the social context and geographical area, the language leans towards either side.[14]
