Hindi Language

In India, there are more than a dozen well-developed languages and hundreds of dialects.
In normal circumstances communication could have been a major problem. However, due to India’s connection with colonial England, there are a large number of people here who can speak English.
If combined with appropriate local gestures and accent modified to the region, it is most likely that English will be understood by a large number of Indians.

Still, while traveling in a country it always helps if you know few phrases of main local language.
It not only goes a long way in striking immediate rapport with people but also helps in your understanding of local etiquette.

Below we are giving a list of few common phrases together with their Hindi equivalents….

Hindi Numbers
Whereas Europeans count in tens, hundreds, thousands, millions and billions, the Indian numbering system goes tens, hundreds, thousands, hundred thousands, million and ten millions. A hundred thousand is lakh, and 10 million is a crore. These two words are almost always used in place of their English equivalent. Thus you will see 10 lakh rather than one million, and one crore than 10 million.
Furthermore, the numerals are generally written that way too — thus three hundred thousand appears as 3,00,000 not 300,000 and ten million, five hundred thousand would appear as 1,05,00,000 and not as 10,500,000.
