On top of that, Hindi is the National language of India, which confirms its place as one of the most important languages of south-east Asia.


There is similarity between Hindi and Urdu 

Hindi is a language that provides maximum value, because, once you are fluent in Hindi, you can essentially speak Urdu as well, since they share certain nuances and features, such as grammar and vocabulary.

Urdu is the official language of Pakistan and is also an identified language in India. There are an estimated 50 million native speakers of Pakistan in India, with a further 16 million native speakers in Pakistan.


Hindi can help in Business 

India is a roaring economy, and one that is mounding to its greatest for over the next few decades. Anyone looking for business opportunities in south-east Asia would do very well to add Hindi to their skillset.


Hindi Is A Phonetic Language

Unlike English, Hindi is a phonetic language. What does it mean? Simply that the words in Hindi are pronounced in the same manner as they are written down. In the process, you just learn how each letter sounds and learn the Hindi alphabet more generally, and then you can pronounce almost any word you stumble upon. This speeds up learning a language with greater ease, as it makes picking up new words and developing the vocabulary much smoother.
