Delhi does not have any regional language of its own. Just like its culture, even its languages have been adapted from the different regions of India and they have blended smoothly with the city's rich culture Today, in modern Delhi, Hindi, English, Urdu and Punjabi are the chief languages of communication. Literary Hindi is written in the 'Devanagari' script, which shows a strong influence of Sanskrit language, the ancient Aryan lingo. English is also the principal language of commerce in Delhi just like other main metropolis cities. Another dialect, Punjabi, the mother tongue of the people of Punjab, is widely spoken in the capital suburbs mainly because of Punjabi community.
