You've already met some of my sisters and relatives, I believe you managed to add up something more to your vocabulary. Now it's time for me to tell you more about myself. So let's dive into the past and see how I took birth.
Dating as far as 1500 B.C. there existed a language named "Vedic Sanskrit". She's my greatest ancestor. This language was the common medium in India until we started receiving foreign guests. Exchange of words took place. People began adopting words from other languages and regional areas started developing their own dialects. Vedic Sanskrit underwent evolution which led to the birth of many languages in the succeeding centuries. Various language families emerged with the two major groups being "Indo-European" and "Dravidian". I belong to the Indo-European Family.
Returning to the present, I've been declared as one of the two official languages of India. About 425 million people have me as their first language. The major Hindi speaking regions in India are called to be lying in the "Hindi Belt". People have come up with their own local versions of me on regional parameters. Khari Boli is my standard form which includes some prefixes and suffixes from other languages too. I've borrowed some words from my sisters, relatives and friends, and that's why I'm referred to as a diverse language.
