"Hamari Boli" (Our Language) is the new name of Hindi-Urdu, the Lingua Franca of South Asia and Desis worldwide. With dozens of mutually intelligible local varieties, and over 1 Billion 1st and 2nd language speakers, it is the second most spoken language in the world!

A genuine first ever in Applied Linguistics i.e. Wiki-based Open Language Planning, The larger "Hamari Boli Initiative" is a full-scale "Language Planning" Enterprise aimed at 'Hindi-Urdu' Script, Style, Status & Lexical Reform and Modernization.

***Problem*** Hindi & Urdu are linguistically the same language written in 2 discrepant scripts due to communalization, severely limiting reach & accessibility of written/printed works of otherwise perfectly mutually intelligible language. The crippling Digraphia renders any kind of Opensource collaboration IMPOSSIBLE among Devanagari/Nastaliq readers.

***Solution***: Hamari Boli (Romanized Hindi-Urdu) resolves the dilemma by using neutral Roman script to create equally accessible opensource content in Roman Hindi-Urdu, and simultaneously uses the opportunity to create online People-to-People Collaboration platforms for Indo-Pak confidence building, where Hindi & Urdu speakers -all Desis indeed- worldwide are enabled to contribute & cooperate on mutually rewarding opensource endeavors such as Lexical resources (Dictionaries etc), Hamari Boli Wikipedia, Open Text Books, Language Tools, Khan Academy Hamari Boli etc
