Here the numbers are for Hindi only, not including Urdu. Some languages may be over- or under-represented as the census data used is at the state-level. For example, while Urdu has 52 million speakers (2001) in India, in no state is it a majority. Urdu is mostly used by Muslims. As given in article

: "
w:Hindustani Language
is a
w:pluricentric language
, with two official forms,
Modern Standard Hindi
and
Modern Standard Urdu
, which are its
standardised
registers
, and which may be called
Hindustani
or
Hindi-Urdu
when taken together. The colloquial registers are mostly indistinguishable, and even though the official standards are nearly identical in grammar, they differ in literary conventions and in academic and technical vocabulary, with Hindi relying more heavily on Sanskrit and Urdu adopting stronger Persian,
Turkic
and Arabic influences. Hindi uses
