  • Hindi-Urdu Heritage Language Schools in the United States
    Hindi-Urdu Heritage Language Schools in the United States Dr. Rucheeta Kulkarni, Arizona State University Nearly 500 million people claim Hindi or Urdu as their first or second language, making this the fourth largest language population in the world (Lewis, 2009). Nearly one million of these speakers live in the United States (Shin & Kominski, 2010). While educational opportunities in these two languages have traditionally been designed for non-heritage graduate students with professional academic interests, there is a growing demand for and availability of courses for heritage language learners (Gambhir, 2008). Hindi and Urdu are now taught not only in colleges and universities, but also in a small number of high schools across the country. In addition, community-based organizations offer classes for Hindi and Urdu heritage language speakers. Following a brief historical overview and discussion of background issues, this brief describes these educational programs and their future prospects. Historical Overview and Background Hindi and Urdu are closely related languages, sharing the same grammar and much of the same vocabulary. However, the languages use different scripts, borrow literary and formal vocabulary from different sources, and have very different socio- religious identities. As Hindi adopted the Devanagari script (which is also the modern-day script for Sanskrit), Urdu adopted the Shahmukhi script (which is a Punjabi script derived from the Nasta’liq font of modified Arabic). Urdu is also heavily influenced by Persian. Thus, today Hindi has a growing Sanskrit lexicon and Urdu, a more Persian-oriented one. As a result, language has become a strong signifier of identity, with Hindi being associated with Hindus and Urdu with Muslims.
