Abstract

It is a well-known fact that our nation is globally recognised for its rich heritage and diversity of languages, religion, caste, creed and colour. Every Indian state has its own regional language showing its culture and traditions. In this regard, the state of Haryana is also well known for its ancient connection with epic Mahabharata and its battle in the field of Kurukschetra. Despite its very rich culture and traditions this state is still struggling for a separate script and recognition of its Haryanvi language. Haryanvi is a language spoken in the Indian state of Haryana and in parts of Delhi, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. It is a member of the Western Hindi group of languages and is closely related to other languages such as Punjabi and Rajasthani. The origins of Haryanvi can be traced back to the medieval period, when it developed as a dialect of the Hindi language. Over time, it has evolved into a distinct language with its own unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The language has been influenced by various other languages like Punjabi, Urdu, and Sanskrit. Haryanvi has played an important role in the cultural and literary history of the region. It has a rich tradition of folk music, poetry, and storytelling, and has produced many renowned writers and artists. However, the language has also faced challenges in recent times, with many people switching to Hindi or English due to modernization and urbanization. Despite these challenges, Haryanvi continues to be an important part of the cultural identity of the people of Haryana and neighbouring regions. It is spoken by millions of people and has a strong presence in popular culture, including films, music, and literature. The language has also gained recognition in recent years, with efforts being made to promote and preserve its unique heritage. Even though this language is searching its identity on national and legal level as very less consideration has been given in this direction by both society and government machinery. This paper is an attempt to analyse the level of awareness among people about original language of Haryana and further the steps being formulated and implemented by the Government in order to materialise this issue.
