baghal ka waqa taliban ki kar roti hai yeh koti naya khel?

and under the section titled 'filmy duniya'

yes and no. some would argue thats its two dialects of the same language, but in all honesty all those sanskrit words they use in hindi is really hard to understand. it would be like comparing berber or assyrian with arabic. i hope that can explain the confusion.

of course if you were to combine the two languages together, it would make it the second most spoken language in the world after english.
