Apart from India, Hindi is spoken and understood in several other countries due to migration, cultural influence and diaspora communities.
Hindi is widely understood and spoken, particularly in the Terai region bordering India, although the official language is Nepali.
Hindi is one of the languages spoken by the Indo-Mauritian population, many of whom are descendants of Indian indentured labourers.
Hindi, specifically "Fiji Hindi," is spoken by the Indo-Fijian community, who are descendants of Indian labourers.
Hindi is understood, especially in the Indo-Trinidadian community, though English and Trinidadian Creole dominate.
Similar to Trinidad, the Indo-Guyanese population speaks Hindi (particularly among older generations) alongside English.
Sarnami Hindi, a variant of Bhojpuri and Awadhi languages, is spoken by the descendants of Indian immigrants.
The Indian diaspora, particularly in regions like Durban, includes Hindi speakers, though Zulu, English, and Afrikaans are more widely spoken.
