History of Hindi language

History:

Literary Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, has been strongly influenced by Sanskrit. Its standard form is based on the Khari Boli dialect, found to the north and east of Delhi. Braj Bhasha, which was an important literary medium from the 15th to the 19th century, is often treated as a dialect of Hindi, as are Awadhi, Bagheli, Bhojpuri, Bundeli, Chhattisgarhi, Garhwali, Haryanawi, Kanauji, Kumayuni, Magahi, and Marwari. However, these so-called dialects of Hindi are more accurately described as regional languages of the “Hindi zone” or “belt,” an area that approximates the region of northern India, south through the state of Madhya Pradesh.

Modern standard Hindi evolved from the interaction of early speakers of Khari boli with Muslim invaders from Afghanistan, Iran, turkey, and central Asia. As the new immigrants settled and began to adjust to the Indian social environment, their languages which were ultimately lost enriched Khari boli. Like other Indo-Aryan languages, Hindi is a direct descendant of an early form of Vedic Sanskrit, through Sauraseni Procrit and Śauraseni Apabhraṃśa (from Sanskrit apabhraṃśa "corrupt"), which emerged in the 7th century CE

Bhartendu Harish Chandra is the father of Hindi language. In modern India, Harishchandra is considered the father of Hindi.

Modern Standard Hindi has been the official language of independent India since 1949 when language reforms were carried out and the Devanagari alphabet was chosen as the official script. In other words, it's roughly 70 years old.
