== Indo-Aryan languages == Many of the [[Indo-Aryan languages]] of the [[Indian subcontinent]] form a dialect continuum. What is called "[[Hindi]]" in India is frequently [[Standard Hindi]], the [[Sanskrit]]ized register of the colloquial [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]] spoken in the [[Delhi]] area, the other register being [[Urdu]]. However, the term Hindi is also used for the different dialects from [[Bihar]] to [[Rajasthan]] and, more widely, some of the Eastern and Northern dialects are sometimes grouped under Hindi.{{Citation needed|date=May 2017}} The Indo-Aryan [[Prakrit]]s also gave rise to languages like [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]], [[Assamese language|Assamese]], [[Maithili language|Maithili]], [[Bengali language|Bengali]], [[Odia language|Odia]], [[Nepali language|Nepali]], [[Marathi language|Marathi]], [[Konkani language|Konkani]] and [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]].
