1 Basic Hindi for Travelers This is a brief introduction to Hindi, one of the official languages of India. This introduction contains basic instruction about pronunciation and important words and phrases. Anywhere you travel in India, the ability to communicate in Hindi will greatly enhance your experience. Even if you do not plan on studying the language in-depth, we strongly suggest learning and using basic greetings and phrases. The locals will greatly appreciate your efforts and will be all the more welcoming to you during your stay. If you would like to complete a beginning course in Hindi, there are a number of self-study books and tapes. Lonely Planet s Hindi, Urdu & Bengali Phrasebook (2005) and Berlitz s Hindi Phrase Book and Dictionary (2006) are two very helpful books. Pronunciation Hindi is written in the Devanagari script, which is also the script used for Sanskrit, Nepali, and many other languages. There are 67 characters, each with only one pronunciation. The Devanagari script is not used in this guide; however, a list of the Devanagari characters can be found at the end of this document. Hindi has eleven vowel sounds. a u as in run aa a as in father ai ai as in aisle ay ay as in day au ow as in cow e e as in bed ee ee as in bee i i as in bit o o as in go oo oo as in fool u u as in put Generally, Hindi consonants are pronounced the same as in English. b as in bat ch as in chew d as in dog f as in frog g as in go h as in hit j as in jaw k as in kennel l as in last m as in mill n as in neat ng as in finger ny as in canyon p as in pin r as in rabbit, but slightly trilled s as in sit sh as in ship t as in stop v as in van y as in yolk z as in zero Page 1 of 6

2 There are two special types of consonants: aspirated consonants and retroflex consonants. Aspirated consonants are pronounced much more forcefully and with a puff of air. Below are the proper pronunciations of the aspirated consonants. bh b as in bus chh ch + h as in punch hard dh d in duck gh g in go jh j in jump kh k in kill ph p in pit, or like an f th t in time Retroflex consonants are pronounced by touching the tongue to the roof of the mouth while pronouncing the consonants. Only four consonants can be pronounced this way (d, t, n, dh). In this guide, we have not distinguished between regular consonants, and the aspirated and retroflex consonants. You will still be understood if you do not use them. In Hindi, word stress is very light, and is determined by a complex set of rules. In this guide, however, the stressed syllable will be in italics. Greetings Hello See you later. How are you? I m fine, and you?
