Re: Making Arabic our National Language
When I made that assertion, I was generally and empirically speaking i.e. I meant that to millions of Urdu-speaking (and Urdu-understanding ) viewers of Indian T.V. channels and movies, the Hindi language they hear is intelligible and has the same structural form as Urdu. On the contrary, only few thousand people may be finding the High Hindi on BBC and Door Darshan different than Urdu. Millions of people find Urdu and Hindi 100-99% similar than thousands of people who find this similarities.
In fact High Hindi can be considered a more sanskritized and less commonly spoken dialect of Hindi/Urdu. On the other hand, the dialect of Urdu/Hindi used in Indian movies is a popular and more commonly used dialect of Hindi with no difference with Urdu neither of vocabulary, nor of diction, and structure.
Ravage you have admitted that there exist two forms of Hindi; the pure and the impure. I have two comments to make here; first is that what you call the impure form is more popular because it is used, almost exclusively, by popular media and entertianment industry....the pure Hindi, on the other hand, seems to be the (sanskratized) official version of Hindi/Urdu being used for political reasons.
BBC is also using it for political reasons to acknowledge the distinct political identities of the two rival states.
The second comment I want to make is, usually that form language is considered pure that in use at popular and folkloric level.
And why are you ignoring dozens of Indian T.V. channels and the huge Indian film industry and picking only BBC and Dor Drashan? My point is if Hindi were any thing different from Urdu, the popular media and film industry of India wouldn't have been using Urdu.
