    • Mātrā (Clauses): Hindi sentences are often divided into two or more clauses, which can be independent or dependent.
    • word order: Hindi is a "free word order" language, meaning that words can be rearranged in a sentence without changing the meaning.

    भूगोल (Geography)

    Hindi is the official language of India and is spoken in all parts of the country, as well as in neighboring countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. The distribution of Hindi speakers is not limited to the Indian subcontinent, as Hindi has been adopted by people around the world due to the influence of Indian culture and history.
