    HINDUSTANI
    LANGUAGE GUIDE
    Hindustani is spoken by about 140,000,000 people in India. Though it is only one of the many languages spoken there, it is understood by most of the Indian people. With a knowledge of Hindustani and English you can get along almost anywhere in India.
    This Language Guide will enable you to ask directions, buy things or order a meal. Knowing a little of the language will also help you to get along with the people, for they will naturally be pleased to see a stranger showing enough interest in them to try to speak their language.
    How to Use the Records and Guide
    The records that go with this Guide give you a number of the most important words and phrases in Hindustani. Read the section called Hints on Pronunciation and
    5
    then listen to the records until you know the Useful Words and Phrases by heart. Repeat each word out loud right after you hear it and say it exactly the way the Hindustani speaker does. Imitate the pronunciation as closely as you can, just as you might mimic someone who has an unusual accent. Try to get every detail of the pronunciation, even the rhythm and intonation. Follow the words in your Guide but use them only as a reminder-; if you hear something different from what you see written, go by what you hear. Remember that you can’t get the sound of a language from the printed word alone — you have to use your ears even more than your eyes. If you don’t have the records and can’t get a Hindustani
    YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR
    EARS EVEN MORE THAN
    speaker to read the words, you will have to rely on the Hints on Pronunciation.
    By the time you have practiced the Useful Words and Phrases several times, you will know what sound each letter stands for in the Guide. You will then be able to pronounce the Additional Expressions even though you have not actually heard them, and you will be able to form sentences of your own by using the section called Fill-in Sentences.
    Hints on Pronunciation
    All the words and phrases are written in a spelling that you read like English. Each letter or combination of letters is used for the sound it normally represents in English and it always stands for the same sound. Thus, "oo” is always to be read as in too, boot, tooth, roost.
    Say these words and then pronounce the vowel sound by itself. That is the sound you must use every time you see "oo” in the Pronunciation column. If you should use some other sound — for example, the one in blood or the one in door — you might be misunderstood.
    7
    Syllables that are accented — that is, pronounced louder than others — are written in capital letters. But Hindustani words have a fairly even accent; sometimes one syllable in a word will sound louder and sometimes another. Although you should pronounce the capitalized syllables a little louder than the others, be careful not to skip over the unaccented syllables. In pronouncing Hindustani give every syllable its full value.
    Apostrophes (’) and curved lines (^) are used to show sounds that are pronounced together without any break; for example, "G’YAH-nz” meaning "eleven,” "sd-RAH^ee” meaning "hotel.”
    Special Points
    AH	as in ah, palm, father. Examples: “AHP”
    meaning “you,” “pah-NEE” meaning “water.”
    A	as in fat, cab, ran. In very careful pro-
    nunciation some Hindustani speakers drawl this sound, making it something like the sound in care. Ordinarily, though, it is like the sound in fat. Examples: “MAA’” meaning “I,” “HA” meaning “is.”
    8
    The words are u/riHen in a sitnplrfieo spelling, like this...
    BUTTE.... BJTOOT	a /

    u
    as in but, cub, run. Examples: “PHUL” meaning “fruit,” “UN-dah” meaning “eggs.”
    a	in italics stands for the a-sound in sofa,
    china, about. Examples : “BAH-ra” meaning “twelve,” “sa-NEE-chur” meaning “Saturday.”
    with a dot underneath stands for an r-sound made by curling your tongue back against the roof of the mouth. Examples: “gho-RAH” meaning “horse,” “SUR-uk” meaning “road.” The “r” without a dot stands for a sound made by bringing the tip of the tongue near the teeth.
    in italics shows that the sound before it is pronounced through the nose. Examples: “na-HEEiV” meaning “no,” “PAH2VCH” meaning “five.”
    when underlined stands for a sort of lisped (/-sound, pronounced with the tongue pressed against the upper front teeth. Examples : “DUSS” meaning “ten,” “CHAW-da” meaning “fourteen.”
    when underlined stands for a lisped t-sound, pronounced with the tongue against the teeth. Examples: “TEEN” meaning “three,” “SAHT” meaning “seven.”
    10
    PH
    TH
    BH, PH, DH, T_H, JH, CHH, GH, KH
    when underlined stands for the d-sound followed by a puff of breath. Some Hindustani-speaking people pronounce this sound like the //i-sound in this, that, then. Examples : “bun-DHEE” meaning “bandage,” “DOODH” meaning “milk.”
    when underlined stands for the J-sound followed by a puff of breath. Some Hindustani-speaking people pronounce it like the sound in thick, thing, three. Examples: “THAH-nah” meaning “police station,” “THAH-lee” meaning “a plate.”
    stand for sounds followed by a puff of breath, like the consonants and h in cab horse, childhood, foothold, matchhead, etc. Examples: “bhook-HAH” meaning “hungry,” “PHUL” meaning “fruit,” “SAHT.H” meaning “sixty,” “CHHA” meaning “six,” etc.
    THAT’S AS FAR AS HE EVER GETS.'
    USEFUL WORDS AND PHRASES
    Following is the exact wording oj the Hindustani language records issued with this Guide:
    These records give you a few useful phrases in Hindustani. The phrases and other words which you will need are found also in the pamphlet which should be used with these records. To learn to imitate the sounds of • Hindustani you should listen to the records at least six or seven times.
    The English will be given first, followed by the Hindustani. Then repeat the Hindustani out loud and say it good and loud. Remember: Repeat every Hindustani phrase right after you hear it.
    Somebody make up his mind
    REPEAT THE ~	~ -1	- -
    WORDS OUT LOUD	\ 1 '
    Words, greetings and general phrases which are useful and should be memorized are given first.
    GREETINGS AND GENERAL PHRASES
    Hindustani has no regular way of distinguishing between "Good morning" and "Good evening.” The phrases below serve for all greetings and farewells. Bow slightly when you use them.
    English	Pronunciation
    Good day	nfl-MI TST-ay
    „	or ah-DAHR-urz
    or sa-LAHM
    13
    The last two are used more commonly in the northern part of India. Hindustani has no regular way to say "Sir,” "Madam” or "Miss” but uses the polite form of "you” when courtesy is desired. This form of "you” is "AHP.”
    Yes	HAHN
    No	na-HEEN
    As you have heard, some Hindustani vowels are pronounced through the nose. You must give this nasal pronunciation to be understood. Hold your nose and say "moo” the way a cow goes:
    MOON
    You have just said the Hindustani word for "mouth.” Now try this through-the-nose pronunciation again in the words for "Yes” and "No”:
    HAHN
    na-HEEN
    [Note: Vowels that are pronounced through the nose like this are written here with an N in italics after them.]
    Hindustani has a phrase for "please”:
    Please	may-hayr-bah-NEE
    14
    English
    Excuse me Thank you
    Do you understand me ?
    I don’t understand
    Please speak slowly
    Pronunciation
    MAHF kur-YAY
    SHOOK-ree-yah
    AHP mooj-HAY sum-ujh-tay HAN?
    MAN na-HEEN sum-ujh-TAH
    DHEE-ray say bo-LEE-yay
    Here is another sound you must practice. It is written "dh.” It is like our d with a distinct puff of breath after it and sounds like the d and h of madhouse. Try it again:
    DHEE-ray
    There are several other sounds with a puff of breath after them. The "bh” is like the b and h of cab horse. Try it in the word for "brother”:
    Brother
    BHAH.ee
    Not SO fast!
    7 Not 50 < '■ fast!
    DHEE-ray say bo-LEE-yay
    The "gh” is like the g and h of doghouse. Try it in the word for "horse”:
    Horse	gho-RAH
    The "chh” is like the ch and h of church house. Try it in the word for "small”:
    Small	chho-TAH
    The "th” is like the t and h of frat house. Try it in the word for "sixty”:
    Sixty	SAHT.H
    And notice the difference between it and "seven”:
    Seven	SAHT
    LOCATION
    When you need to get somewhere you use the phrase "Where is__ ?” but put the words you need before it.
    Where is__?	__ka-HAHN HA?
    a hotel	HO-tul
    or sa-RAH_ee

    “railway station” ka-HAHN HA?

    Turn right
    Turn left
    dah-hin-NAY haht.h GHOO-mo
    BAH.een haht.h GHOO-mo
    WHAT ARE THESE DIRECTIONS IN HINDUSTANI?

    It is sometimes useful to say "Please point.” What they say is "Please tell with a gesture.”

    dee-jee-YAY
    If you are driving and ask the distance to another town, it will be given to you in miles or "KOASS.”

    na-MUST-ay
    Notes on the Record Text
    There are some differences in the use of words among Hindus and Moslems in India. For “Hello” and “Good-by” use “na-MUST-ay” to Hindus. In greeting Moslems say “sa-LAHM a-LAY-koom” or, if you want to be very polite, use “ah-DAHB-urz.” For “Good-by” Moslems say “KHOOD-ah HAH-fiz.” If you don’t know whether the person is Hindu or Moslem, use the simple greeting “sa-LAHM.”
    Among Moslems the holy day of the week is Friday, which they call “JOOM-a.” The Hindu word for Friday is “sook-ra-WAHR” or the abbreviated “SOOKH.” Thursday is called “joo-ma-RAHT” by Moslems but “bra-ha-SPUT” by Hindus.
    The word “KUL” means either “yesterday” or “tomorrow.”

    FILL-IN SENTENCES
    In this section you will find a number of sentences, each containing a blank space which can be filled in with any one of the words in the list that follows. For example, to say "I want soap” look for the phrase "I want_” and,
    in the list following the sentences, the word for "soap.” Then combine them as follows:

    HOOM
    soap	sah-BOON
    I want soap	MAM sah-BOON
