About the Hindi Language

Hindi is the most commonly spoken language in India. It is the fifth most spoken language in the world with about 182 million native speakers in 1998. The Devanāgarī script is used to write Hindi.

Hindi is widely written, spoken and understood in North India and some other places in India. In 1997, a survey found that 45% of Indians can speak Hindi.

Like other Indo-Aryan languages, Hindi is a direct descendant of an early form of Vedic Sanskrit, through Sauraseni Prakrit and Śauraseni Apabhraṃśa (from Sanskrit apabhraṃśa "corrupted"), which emerged in the 7th century CE.

Before the standardization of Hindi on the Khariboli dialect, various dialects and languages of the Hindi belt attained prominence through literary standardization, such as Avadhi and Braj Bhasha. Early Hindi literature came about in the 12th and 13th centuries CE. This body of work included the early Rajasthani epics such as renditions of the Dhola Maru, the Prithviraj Raso in Braj Bhasha, and the works of Amir Khusrow in the Khariboli of Delhi.

Modern Standard Hindi is based on the Khariboli dialect, the vernacular of Delhi and the surrounding region, which came to replace earlier prestige dialects such as Awadhi, Maithili (sometimes regarded as separate from the Hindi dialect continuum) and Braj. Urdu – another form of Hindustani – acquired linguistic prestige in the later Mughal period (1800s), and underwent significant Persian influence. Modern Hindi and its literary tradition evolved towards the end of the 18th century. In the late 19th century, a movement to further develop Hindi as a standardised form of Hindustani separate from Urdu took form. In 1881, Bihar accepted Hindi as its sole official language, replacing Urdu, and thus became the first state of India to adopt Hindi. Modern Standard Hindi is one of the youngest Indian languages in this regard.

Hindi Document Translation

Standard Hindi (Modern Standard Hindi based on the Khariboli dialect) is used in official documents across India's Hindi-speaking belt, though regional vocabulary differences exist between states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Bihar. The most significant translation challenge is the Hindi-Urdu continuum: documents from before Indian independence may use a more Persianised register, while contemporary official Hindi uses heavily Sanskritised vocabulary. Documents from different Indian states may also be bilingual in Hindi and the relevant state language.

Hindi Document Types

Hindi civil documents include the janma praman patra (birth certificate), vivah praman patra (marriage certificate), and chalak anugya patra (driving licence). Educational documents from Hindi-medium institutions bear the heading ank talika (mark sheet) or praman patra (certificate). The Aadhaar card (aadhaar patra) is India's biometric identity document.

Hindi is one of two official languages of the Indian Union government (alongside English) and is the official language of numerous Indian states and union territories. It is also an official language of Fiji (as Fiji Hindi, a distinct variety). With over 600 million speakers including second-language users, Hindi-language documents originate from one of the world's largest and most complex bureaucratic systems, spanning central government, state governments, and municipal authorities each with their own document formats and conventions.

Industry Requirements

The Legal Practice Board of Western Australia governs the legal profession in WA. The Law Society of Western Australia is the professional association, and the Legal Services and Complaints Committee handles disciplinary matters. At the federal level, the Attorney-General's Department oversees legal policy.

Key documents requiring translation include court orders and judgments, statutory declarations and affidavits, powers of attorney, contracts and commercial agreements, wills and probate documents, police clearance certificates from overseas jurisdictions, and family law documentation including custody agreements and divorce decrees from foreign courts.

All foreign-language documents tendered as evidence in Australian courts must be accompanied by a NAATI-certified translation. The Supreme Court of Western Australia and the Federal Court require certified translations for any non-English exhibits, and law firms routinely specify NAATI certification for client documents from overseas.

Perth's legal sector handles substantial cross-border commercial work driven by the resources industry, with firms like Herbert Smith Freehills, Allens, and Clayton Utz maintaining large Perth offices. Family law and migration law practices across the city regularly require NAATI-certified translations of personal documents from South-East Asian, African, and Middle Eastern jurisdictions.
