Do you know: If you are asked which national language is India, your answer will be Hindi. However, this is not true. Because India is a country full of diversity, where people of different religions and societies live. Depending on the region, languages ​​are also spoken here. In such a situation, Hindi could not attain the status of a national language. Although there are 22 languages ​​listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, Hindi and English are the two languages ​​that have been given the status of official languages ​​in the Constitution. Most people in the country speak Hindi. At the same time, people of other languages ​​also understand Hindi well. According to one estimate, more than 58 million people speak Hindi in India. It is considered the third most spoken language in the world. But if asked, in which seven countries is Hindi widely spoken apart from India? Do you know the answer? Maybe I don’t know. In such a situation, today we will tell you about these countries.

The first name in this list comes from Nepal. Nepal, located in our neighborhood, is a country where most people converse in Hindi. Apart from that, those who don’t know Hindi understand Hindi. It is estimated that 80,000 people speak Hindi in Nepal, while the total population there is about 3 million people. In such a situation, it can be said that every third Nepalese speaks Hindi. Now you must be wondering how people in Nepal speak Hindi. Then we tell you that the reason behind this is Hindi speaking tourists from India and TV shows. Indian television programs are very popular in Nepal. The name Mauritius is second only to Nepal. Even in Mauritius, one in three speaks Hindi. Another language of India, Bhojpuri, is also very popular here. Although the national language of Mauritius is Creole, many Indians went there as laborers years before India’s independence. He began to speak his own language. Gradually, the local people also began to understand it.

After Nepal, Mauritius and America, Fiji is also included in this list. Fiji has a large population of people of Indian origin, which is why around 38% of people speak Hindi.

The population of Hindi-speaking people here has increased in recent decades, but even before that, many Indians had been living there for generations. In such a situation, these people include Hindi in their spoken language. If you come here you will meet many people who speak and understand Hindi. Apart from Singapore, there are many Hindi speakers in the UK too. We tell you that a large number of Indian immigrants live in the United Kingdom and Hindi is one of the languages ​​spoken by the communities of Indian origin.
