Haryanvi linguistic data

Word order, tone, gender count, case marking, adposition direction, syllable structure, consonant inventory traits, vowel system, morphological alignment, script, register stratification, speaker count, and geographic area. Each row is one feature with Haryanvi's value visible; you can add other languages to read the same feature side by side.

Typological features are merged from URIEL+ (Mortensen et al.) and a curated set authored against descriptive grammars. Speaker counts come from Ethnologue and Glottolog. Geographic area is computed from the Asher 2007 world language atlas. Similarity scores combine genetic distance, typological overlap, and lexical-borrowing data.

Both descend from the Western Hindi group, with Standard Hindi based on the Khariboli dialect of the Delhi region and Haryanvi closely related but distinct (sometimes called 'Bangaru' or 'Jat-ki-boli'). They share core grammar but differ in pronoun forms (Haryanvi 'main' vs Hindi 'main', different oblique forms), verb endings, and vocabulary. Mutual intelligibility is partial.

Primarily across Haryana state in northern India, plus parts of Delhi, western Uttar Pradesh, eastern Rajasthan, and southern Punjab. The language has a distinctive rural and folk-cultural identity, prominent in northern-Indian agrarian communities and increasingly in popular regional cinema and music.

All three are Indo-Aryan, share core grammar (SOV, postpositions, two genders), and overlapping vocabulary. Haryanvi sits between Hindi and Punjabi geographically, with mixed influences. The factor breakdown chip on the row tells you which dimensions contributed most.
