Hindi is natively spoken by about 570 million people, primarily in India, where it is one of the official languages alongside English. It is integral to Indian cultural identity, known for its literature, music, and Bollywood films. Written in the Devanagari script, Hindi grammar features a subject-object-verb (SOV) word order, extensive use of postpositions, and a system of verb conjugations that indicate tense, aspect, and mood.
