1 month ago Hi, the Hindi implementation is ready for testing! To check it out, download the latest development build and choose "हिन्दी" in the language dialog. You should check if the words used are OK, and if the advanced text generation looks correct. There won't be any meaningful sentences since all the words are selected at random, but the punctuation should be on point.
If this looks good to you and I don't get any further feedback from the Nepali in #5, I'll probably close that issue as well, since Nepali uses the same text generation code but with Nepali words.

Syntax
Hindi is written in the devnagari script. Letters like क, ख, ग etc. It's the most spoken language in northern India and has presence in the rest of India. It has vowels like अ, आ, इ etc. which give signs to the consonants like आ + क = का, आ + ग = गा, इ + म = मि etc.
These signs are called 'matras'. Consonants are without the 'अ' matra (generally not in listing them or in most words) and considered 'half'. The letter 'क' for example is pronounced 'kau' and has the sound of 'अ' (auo), without it there is a sign called a halant placed after a consonant looks like क् (could be any consonant ज् , ग् etc).
Sentences are ended with '।' called a 'purnaviram' (full stop) and it has all the other punctuation marks of English (!, ?, ;) and sentences are quoted with double quotes ("") and dubious/self-proclaimed things are enclosed in single quotes ('').

Additional Information
If you implement hindi, everything is almost identical in marathi, nepali, odia, maithili etc. and these should be easier to implement.
