I differ on this. Hindi may be a mixture of different dialects or other Indian languages, but I am sure when people refer to Pure Hindi or Sanskritised Hindi, they do know what they are talking about. This sort of Hindi does exist! If you look at other Indian Languages or European Languages, except for a few countable words borrowed from other languages, they have all retained their true form! The tragedy with Hindi is that it has been a victim of many invasions and influences, and failed to perpetuate it's original form. Mahatma Gandhi introduced Hindustani - a mixture of Urdu and Hindi, which was highly condemned by the Nationalists like Natthu Raam Godse! To make the matters worse, the English influenced Hindi so much that the Indians today cannot speak one full sentence in Hindi! I who has always been a Hindi lover have studied Hindi avidly and diligently and am totally capable of writing and speaking Hindi without any Urdu or English inclusion. Where the matter of Sanskritised Hindi sounding funny is concerned, let's not forget that it's the bad influence of the English that the Indians are finding difficult to get rid of even today! There isn't any Hindi Language Academy like the French Language Academy! Why not? Sorry to say, but the Indians have downgraded Hindi by making it a bastard language of a mixture of all languages especially English! Hindi CANNOT be categorised into various types of Hindi! People from the other states who keep making mistakes with the genders aren't speaking Hindi of their state, but they are speaking a faulty Hindi! Let's be very clear on that! Sanskritised Hindi spoken correctly doesn't have to sound funny if we get used to it! It's the first time for everything and if we start giving correct Hindi lessons to our children and discourage them to use English words while speaking it, they WILL get used to it I am sure! If we keep ridiculing them upon speaking it correctly and with sanskritised words, they will obviously develop an inferiority complex! Therefore, if we want to give Hindi a stature, let's avoid using other language words, and look for the right word in Hindi, which exists very much! Look at the serials Ramayan, Mahabharat, Chanakya etc..Do they not use pure Hindi there? So, why should we say that it's impossible? The role of the Scholars should be to make the so-called "impossible" "possible", not defend and promote the prevalent wrong practice! And yeah, according to me, inclusion of Urdu hasn't spoilt Hindi as much as the inclusion of English!
