New Language For India
The evolution of a simple, easily intelligible Hindustani useful for broadcasting purposes in North India is the aim of an effort undertaken by All India Radio, which is now engaged on the preparation of a lexicon of simple Hindustani words generally required for news bulletins. A wellknown Hindi journalist and an Urdu scholar are engaged on a careful supervision of the day-to-day news bulletins and the work of vocabulary building for the proposed lexicon.
