Learning a New Language: Need to be advised (Hindi)

[Canis familiaris]

You mean deep rooted into YOU

TO most Hindi Speakers...

Language is a means of communication so making political statements or whatever can be futile for that goal.

I am not sure I really understand this but if you mean what I think you mean then I agree with you.

We'll take a poll.

It means speaking Shuddh Hindi for the sake of it, even though it will confuse people, is not all that smart. I learned archaic features of English so I can understand older texts and conventions (and could speak it if I wanted) but I don't because it would hinder communication.

The first part was me messing with Panda Ji about not being able to speak Shuddh Hindi, and the second part was me being realistic.

By the way there is a new language learning software for Hindi out there that runs also under Linux (as it is a Java program). I like it a lot as it uses thousands of pictures and the audio recordings are quite good. You can have a look here: http://www.l-ceps.com/en/hindi/learn...-ptrainer.html

I know it doesn't mean anything.

The first word is ok, the second word is an attempt to write an English word in Devanagari because the Hindi phrase for it is too long (there are restrictions on length). The their word is two words, stuck together because I was one space short, and for some reason the maatraa on the final "hai" counts as a letter, even though it takes up no space.

Of course, the original current version isn't that sensible either, but such is life:

मेरी मँडराने वाली नाव सर्पमीनों से भरी है
