Linguists consider Standard Hindi and Standard Urdu to be different formal registers both derived from the Khari Boli dialect, which is also known as Hindustani. Hindi is closely related to Urdu, the main language of Pakistan, which is written with the Arabic script. Both languages are used in parliament, in the judiciary, in communications between the central government and state government, and for other official purposes. Hindi is one of official languages of the government of India - the other offical language is English. Hindi is spoken in the Bagmati, Janakpur and Narayani zones in the Terai lowlands of southern Nepal, and it is spoken in KwaZulu-Natal province in the east of South Africa. In other parts of India, as well as in Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan, Hindi is understood.
