Hindi-speaking nations:


Hindi is one of the official languages of The Democratic Republic of Navi Bharat. Brought to Navi Bharat from India, the Hindi spoken in Navi Bharat has differed little over the years, only borrowing a few words from the neighbouring languages of Persian and Tibetan. There have been a few official and accent changes, for example, in the sentence "tum mat vahaan jao" (Don't go over there), the verb negater and verb itself have meshed together, and the nasalized vowels have shifted to 'h' sounds, rendering "tuh vahaah majao". Apart from these minor differnces, Hindi speakers in Navi Bharat can communicate almost fluently with their counterparts in India.

Hindi is also an offical language of the Carthage/The Lightning Star. [NOTE: The following is based on Earth II ] Unlike Hindi in Navi Bharat, Hindi in the Caliphate is very different than the version in India. When the New Carthaginian Empire, based at Lahore, conquered Northern India, it brought with it Punic. As with Hindi's sister language of Urdu, it was heavily influenced by Punic. When Arabic became the offical language of the country in 1503 B.C.E., Arabic began influencing the language as well. This made Carthaginian as different from mainstream Hindi as possible without it being a different language.
