Hindi is a northern Indian Indo-Aryan spoken in the North of India primarily. Hindi is described as a standardised and Sanskrit register, based primarily on the Khariboli dialect of Delhi and surrounding northern India. Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, is one of the Government of India’s two official languages, together with English. It is an official language and an additional official language in nine countries and three territories of the Union and in 3 others. Hindi is part of the Republic of India’s 22 scheduled languages.
Let’s now see how you can get over your fear of speaking Hindi
First of all, it is important to understand that there are four major skills I need to master to learn any language. Therefore to achieve proficiency in the language of Hindi, you are expected to master a total of four skills. These four skills are reading skills, writing skills, listening skills and speaking skills. Out of all these four people tend to struggle the most with writing and speaking skills. This is because both of them are super practical and cannot be practised without actually using them in real-life situations.
Hence, to master the speaking skills of Hindi or to simply get over your fear of speaking the language, you have to actively engage in any conversation that requires you to speak Hindi. Slowly, you will begin to get a hang of the language. In the beginning, you can utilise your listening skills and focus on understanding the grammar you rules utilised, sentence formation and you can focus on reading a lot so that you can expand your vocabulary as well. Furthermore, you can engage in online conversations with other natives before actually going out and actively participating or initiating a conversation yourself.
Another way of getting over your fear of speaking any language including Hindi is to simply speak to yourself in front of a mirror. This is the most common method of getting over your fear of speaking skills in not just the language but in general as well. You can focus on perfecting your body language as well as your speech at the same time.
Finally,
Different dialects and Hindi languages, such as Avadhi and Braj Bhasha, received prime importance prior to the standardising of Hindi based on the dialect of Delhi. The 12th and 13th centuries CE, mark the emergence of Hindi literature. And this is clearly visible in the early epics such as Dhola Maru’s interpretations in the Marwari Marwar’s, the Prithviraj Raso of the Braj Bhasha of Braj, and the works of Amir Khusrow in the Delhi dialect. It is the Delhi and the surrounding region’s Vernacular, which replaced previous prestigious dialects such as Awadhi, Maithili and Braj and remain the main sources of modern Standard Hindi.
