* Languages aren't static: Languages evolve over time. They borrow words, change pronunciations, and adapt to new situations. This means the "direction" of a language can shift.
* Direction implies movement: Language is a complex system of communication, not a physical object that moves. While languages do change and evolve, they don't have a specific directional path.
* "Direction" can be misinterpreted: Using "direction" to describe a language could be taken as a metaphor for its influence or spread, which is a different concept altogether.
Instead of "direction," you might consider these ideas:
* Origin: Hindi's origins are in the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family.
* Influence: Hindi has been influenced by various languages, including Sanskrit, Persian, and English.
* Spread: Hindi is spoken widely in India and has some presence in other countries due to migration.
* Evolution: Hindi continues to evolve and change, reflecting the evolving needs and cultures of its speakers.
