Delhi does not have any regional language of its own.
Just like its culture, even its languages are adapted from the rest of
the country. In the following lines, we have tried to cover almost all
of the languages that are spoken in Delhi.
Hindi
The official language of Delhi is Hindi. Also, since the Hindu
population is dominant in the city, most of the people converse in Hindi
only, though, the dialects may differ.
English
English has become a widely used medium of communication in the capital
city. Especially, the youngsters tend to communicate more in English,
amongst themselves. Also, guides, shopkeepers and even the taxi drivers
are well conversed in this language.
Punjabi
The major languages spoken in Delhi include Punjabi also. Since, there
are a large number of Sikhs and Punjabis in Delhi; you will get to hear
this language quite often.
Urdu
Urdu is a common language of Delhi. It is mainly prevalent in the Old
Delhi area where there is a heavy concentration of Muslims.
