When was Hindi discovered?

Answer 1

Hindi is a living language which is "discovered" by any person upon first encountering it. To think of a language as discovered rather than invented or evolved seems to imply that it has more of a rational or objective foundation than is generally true. Hindi grammar was standardized by the Indian government in 1954, but the origin of the language is far more ancient and diverse. Like other natural languages, Hindi is but one solution to the problem of useful and expressive human communication. It necessarily corresponds to rules of logic, patterns of human social interaction, and capabilities and tendencies of the human brain. In the sense that the language is only one of many possible such solutions, there is much that characterizes Hindi that is arbitrary and merely reflects the peculiar circumstances of its speakers and contributors in history.

Answer 2

Hindi is a language that evolved over time, rather than being discovered at a specific point in time. Its roots can be traced back to ancient Sanskrit, with influences from Persian, Arabic, and other languages. Modern Standard Hindi, as we know it today, was developed in the 19th century.
