Jackson Heights and Richmond Hill in Queens, plus Hicksville and Floral Park on Long Island, anchor New York’s Hindi-speaking population.
Spoken Hindi and Urdu are largely mutually intelligible in everyday registers, but they diverge sharply in formal and legal vocabulary — Hindi drawing on Sanskrit, Urdu on Persian and Arabic — and they use entirely different scripts (Devanagari and Perso-Arabic). For document translation the distinction is absolute.
Many Hindi speakers in New York also speak Punjabi, Gujarati, Bengali or another regional language at home, with Hindi as a second language. Under oath, the strongest language is the one that matters.
Common contexts
TLC and for-hire vehicle claims, small business and commercial disputes, workers’ compensation, depositions, and medical appointments.
