Hindi is written in the Devanagari script which is also used for writing Sanskrit (India's classical language and the script the Vedic texts are written in). Hindi is also derived from Sanskrit, in the same way as the English language is derived from Latin. So as English shares a lot in common with Latin, Hindi contains a lot of elements from the original Sanskrit language.
